  08/09/21 - QB Cade McNamararSr/2025, Iowa

  McNamara said during a recent appearance on the "In the Trenches" podcast with Jon Jansen that being named the starter heightened his comfort level in terms of becoming a more vocal leader. "I find leadership an important job of being a quarterback. I take it very seriously," McNamara said on the podcast. "I feel that's something I've been able to apply more this season going in as the (No.) 1 (quarterback), taking 1 reps with game experience, you've earned a certain level of respect on top of the way you've been working the first two years. I felt like I built a good foundation the first two years as a hard-nosed tough hard worker who's willing to do anything for the team."

McNamara was 43-of-71 for 425 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions. He started against Penn State in what would be Michigan's final game, and suffered an injured shoulder. "Although we don't have what some would consider a returning starter, we feel good about the depth," offensive coordinator Josh Gattis said Thursday. "To see Cade take over this team, to see his leadership - obviously, people saw him last year fill in and bring our team back in certain situations, but I think the thing that was most important last year is people saw how our team gravitated to him. They saw his leadership, they saw his command of the offense, that's what you want in your quarterback. He makes everybody better around him." Aidan Hutchinson, a returning captain and defensive lineman, described McNamara as a "beast" in terms of his leadership and said he had been vital in player-led walk-throughs during the offseason. "He's been kinda the rock for the offense," Hutchinson said. - Detroit News
