Michigan football quarterback commit J.J. McCarthy transferring to IMG Academy

Michigan football's top-ranked commit in the 2021 class will finish his high school career in Florida.

Five-star quarterback J.J. McCarthy announced his transfer to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, on Monday afternoon, citing the "uncertainty of fall sports" in Illinois.

McCarthy will transfer from La Grange Park Nazareth Academy, where he developed into a highly-touted quarterback prospect and helped lead his school to three consecutive state title appearances, winning in 2018.
