After spring ball, Cade McNamara is leading Michigan football's quarterback competition

Michigan football recently wrapped up spring practice, and

it sounds like there's a clear frontrunner in the quarterback competition.

During an appearance on the “In the Trenches” podcast with Jon Jansen, quarterbacks coach Matt Weiss said Cade McNamara was the Wolverines' starter under center.

“He’s a guy that’s been awesome to work with, he’s extremely valuable to our team as our starter,” Weiss said April 15, two days before Michigan's final practice. “Love the fact that we have him.”
