Michigan football commit, J.J. McCarthy, is a five-star recruit from La Grange Park, IL, where he plays football at Nazareth High School. According to 247Sports, J.J. is the No. 1 football player out of Illinois, the No. 2 Pro-style QB, and 11th in the country for the 2021 class.
Standing at 6-foot-2-inches as a sophomore, McCarthy already has the size for college ball and his verified forty and shuttle times are off-the-charts for someone at his age (4.87 forty, 4.47 shuttle).
247Sports Allen Trieu projects J.J. to be a second-round draft pick and compared the young man to legendary QB Drew Brees.
