Deciding to enter the draft can be a daunting one and a choice of players will waver back and forth throughout the process. Often times, players can swing in the opposite direction from the signals they initially give off. Such is the case for a certain Big Ten quarterback.
Just two weeks ago, during my initial article on underclassmen decisions, I reported that McCarthy was leaning towards remaining in school another season. The reasons given? The junior signal caller wanted to get bigger, stronger and better prepared for the next level.
That has seemingly changed, as people tell me McCarthy will enter the 2024 NFL Draft. What changed? I’m told McCarthy has received first-round grades after reaching out to next-level decision-makers, and it’s understandable.
