Notably, Doyel named Washington’s Michael Penix Jr., Oregon’s Bo Nix and LSU’s Jayden Daniels among the many quarterbacks that he would think about voting for as an alternative of McCarthy.
The Michigan story continues to twist and switch because the investigation into this system rolls on, however on the sphere, McCarthy actually seems the a part of among the best gamers within the nation.
