First-year Michigan quarterbacks coach Matt Weiss is more than confident quarterback Cade McNamara, who he described as the team’s “starter,” has what it takes to be successful.
Weiss, appearing on this week’s “In the Trenches” podcast with host Jon Jansen, said he came to Michigan from the NFL's Baltimore Ravens earlier this year because of the talent in the quarterback room. Michigan concluded spring practice last Saturday with three scholarship quarterbacks — McNamara, early enrollee freshman J.J. McCarthy and redshirt freshman Dan Villari. Alan Bowman, a transfer from Texas Tech, will join the team before preseason camp.
