Donovan Edwards ices Michigan's win with 2 long TDs (1:10)

Edward scored from 75 and 85 yards out. There is a time and a place for this.

1:26 PM ET

The graduate transfer portal has McNamara entering it.

McNamara originally committed to Notre Dame before changing his mind. In his first year as starter, he didn't see a lot of game action, but he did play in four of 10 games in 2020 after taking the place of Joe Milton III.

Even though J.J. McCarthy was added to the team, he held on to the starting job.

McNamara led the Michigan to a Big Ten title and a spot in the College Football Playoff last year. He threw for 2,576 yards and 15 touchdown in fourteen games.

Harbaugh said there would be a competition between McNamara and McCarthy before the season started. McNamara threw for 136 yards and one touchdown in the first game against Colorado State.

McCarthy was the starter in the second game. McNamara injured his leg in the second half of the third game of the season against Connecticut. He didn't return during the regular season due to an injury.
