ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — J.J. McCarthy, Michigan's national-championship winning quarterback, is skipping his senior season to enter the NFL draft.
McCarthy made the announcement Sunday, a day after being begged to stay.
The Wolverines had a parade through town, winding their way to their basketball arena. When it was McCarthy's turn to talk to the sold-out crowd, a chant broke out as he stood and smiled.
“One more year! One more year!" the maize-and-blue clad fans shouted in unison Saturday night.
