Trieu: Harbaugh connection helped Michigan land QB Cade McNamara

Cade McNamara has started at quarterback for Reno (Nev.) Damonte Ranch since his freshman year.

In his first ever start on the varsity, he completed 12-of-15 passes in a 42-7 win. That first season, McNamara threw for 2,042 yards and 17 touchdowns to 10 interceptions. There were signs that he would potentially be a heavily recruited kid.

His sophomore year was a monumental leap and cemented his status as a national recruit. McNamara passed for 3,577 yards and 46 touchdowns. After a junior season in which he threw for 44 more touchdowns to only 8 interceptions, he is now rated as a four-star prospect by the 247Sports Composite.
