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..
Throughout the year, McCarthy’s success on the field continued as well — until an undefeated Michigan lost to Texas Christian University in the College Football Playoff on December 31, 2022. The following year, McCarthy and Michigan returned to the College Football Playoff and beat the University of Alabama in the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day. They defeated the University of Washington in the finals on January 8, 2024., for more than five years.
As Kuropas continued to support McCarthy from the stands at Michigan games, they celebrated their fifth anniversary. "1,825 days with the love of my life but a million moments that will be remembered and cherished for the rest of my life," he wrote via Instagram."I couldn’t be more grateful for who you are and everything you do! You make me the best version of myself and it has been a complete blessing to continually watch you grow into the amazing woman you are. I love you my queen!!! 👸🥰❤️.
“Extremely delayed but … Reminiscing on how amazing this past season was. An abundance of blessings and the best memories,” she wrote alongside a slideshow of moments cheering on McCarthy. “Feeling so grateful for everything that unfolded & for everyone that was part of it!! Sad to see this chapter go, but excited for the next one🫶🏽.”
