J.J. McCarthy finished his high school career with a 36-2 record as a starter. He played at Nazareth Academy for his first three seasons, leading them to a 26-2 record. As a senior, he transferred to IMG Academy and led them to an 8-0 record and a national championship. In all, McCarthy amassed 7,905 career passing yards with 94 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.

(For those keeping score at home, that's almost 2,000 yards per season in HIGH SCHOOL)

J.J. McCarthy finished his college career at the University of Michigan with a 27-1 record as the starting quarterback, giving him a winning percentage of .964. This winning percentage is the best in NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) history (1978-present).

It's the offseason, it's the months for chugging Kool-Aid and obsessing over OTA reports, etc...but, even my cynical soul is wanting to believe in this kid.

I might end up driving by Sunfish Lake today. I will bask in the healing rays as I go by. Life  Is  Good


He'll win everyone over, despite themselves. He's also got a work Daddy who loves him (KOC). Bring your cynical, your scarred, your disgruntled fans....to the healing waters of Sunfish Lake.
