Ever since the retirement of iconic coach Jim Harbaugh, the Michigan Wolverines have needed a restructure, as many notable names have elected to follow in Harbaugh’s footsteps. Talented members of the team including WR Andrel Anthony Jr., JJ McCarthy, and Donovan Edwards are departing the team, but their close bond has not diminished at all.

The trio’s togetherness has met a setback with McCarthy declaring for the 2024 Draft following Anthony Jr.’s departure transfer to OU, while Edwards remains in Michigan, causing them to all go different ways this year. Recently, Andrel Anthony Jr. took to social media to show his love for the other two, which McCarthy promptly shared in an emotional eight-word statement.

Andrel Anthony Jr. recently wrote an emotional post on Twitter regarding his teammates, writing, “Nobody I’m more proud of than these 2. You all took that feeling we were left with after this game & used that to motivate you all. It’s 2 AM on indoor running paths after games. I adore you all, my brothers, for life.”

JJ answered promptly by adding, “4 life, my brudda. Go be great king,” as he wished Andrel Jr. to recover from his season-ending knee injury and bounce back stronger. Andrel Anthony Jr. transferred from Michigan to Oklahoma and sustained a significant injury to his knee versus Texas. Meanwhile, McCarthy is one of the most promising prospects in the 2024 NFL selection, with many prophesying he may be the No. 1 choice.

J.J. McCarthy has been part of Michigan’s program since 2020 He ascended from the ranks at Nazareth Academy in Illinois. He has always been considered a powerful quarterback with leadership characteristics, a good arm, accuracy, and a football IQ. He is a proven winner, having won two Big Ten championships as a starting quarterback.
