If Michigan football is going to win a national championship in 2023, J.J. McCarthy will have a key role to play.
The narrative surrounding J.J. McCarthy, when he committed to Michigan football, has essentially proven to be true.
The idea was that with McCarthy, Michigan football, a team with a lot of blue-chip talent, but not quite as much as Georiga, Ohio State, Alabama, etc. would bridge the gap like Trevor Lawrence did for Clemson and Joe Burrow did for LSU.
Those programs had a ton of elite talent surrounding those quarterbacks.
