The football player made a name for himself at Nazareth Academy, committing to Michigan in May 2019 after being rated one of the top quarterback recruits ahead of his junior and senior years of high school. McCarthy arrived at Michigan ahead of the 2021 season and played behind starting QB Cade McNamara.
