It looks like Jim Harbaugh is not the only one who might be gone from the Michigan Wolverines this offseason.
Michigan football quarterback J.J. McCarthy, the man anointed by Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh as the greatest quarterback in program history, will not return to Ann Arbor for a senior season.
McCarthy announced Sunday he will forego his final year of eligibility with the Wolverines and enter his name into the 2024 NFL draft.
“Forever a Michigan Man,” McCarthy tweeted.
The Wolverines held their championship parade and celebration on Saturday following their 34–13 national title win over Washington on Monday. McCarthy was welcomed back to Ann Arbor with “one more year” chants from fans but he clearly made the best decision for him.
J.J. McCarthy went 27-1 as Michigan’s starting quarterback the past two seasons. His only loss came against TCU in the Fiesta Bowl last season. Michigan went 40-3 during McCarthy’s tenure.
