J.J. McCarthy is one of the biggest names on the Michigan Football roster, and he’s only been there a year and he has yet to start a game. A combination of highlight reel plays for Michigan last season and the hype that comes with being a five-star recruit has led to McCarthy becoming a fan favorite.
The story so far
McCarthy committed to Michigan back in 2019 — the five-star McCarthy was ranked as the No. 24 prospect overall nationally in the class of 2021, and No. 2 pro-style quarterback. McCarthy received offers from Ohio State, Wisconsin, Texas, and over 30 other schools but it was always Michigan for McCarthy.
