You don’t have to know much about football to know that you need a good quarterback to win, no matter what level it is and for Michigan football, getting top-ranked signal-callers has been a priority.
While Michigan football hasn’t always landed the top-ranked quarterback in each class, the Wolverines have built a solid pipeline of talent at the position that includes JD Johnson in 2020 and J.J. McCarthy in 2021.
McCarthy is a five-star prospect and one of the truly elite prospects in the 2021 class. He’s the top-ranked player in Illinois and a guy the Wolverines can build around.
