In three years with Michigan, quarterback J.J. McCarthy has risen to become one of the most decorated signal-callers in college football history. The Wolverines have lost just once with the La Grange Park, Ill. native running the show—to TCU in the 2022 Fiesta Bowl.
Now, McCarthy is a national champion. Though his numbers weren't overwhelming down the stretch—he threw for between 140 and 148 yards in four of his last five games—he did more than enough to take Michigan to the Promised Land.
