J.J. McCarthy may be the Michigan GOAT at quarterback in terms of his play in college (Tom Brady is the GOAT, but he didn't lead Michigan football to a national championship as McCarthy has) but his heir apparent is potentially on his way to Ann Arbor in just about a week.

Michigan's national championship winning QB JJ McCarthy had some words of advice for five-star Bryce Underwood.

Last week, ESPN Baton Rouge radio host Matt Moscona said he was told Michigan agreed to pay Underwood $12 million. I’m told Michigan got to $12 Million for Underwood.

Bryce Underwood and Michigan football will be offering fans the chance to buy Wolverines shirts and trading cards featuring him.

One such target is 2026 four-star Forney (Texas) running back Javian Osborne, who named Michigan as the current leader of his recruitment even before Underwood committed to the maize and blue. However, having the five-star quarterback in the fold has only positively impacted the Wolverines' chances of landing Osborne.

J.J. McCarthy and his daredevil approach to quarterbacking could be the key to unlocking Michigan football's national title dreams. We examine why.
