The announcement comes weeks after McCarthy led the Wolverines to a national championship and declared for the 2024 NFL Draft.

Michigan Wolverines quarterback J.J. McCarthy has announced his engagement to longtime girlfriend Katya Kuropas, just weeks after leading his team to their first national championship title since 1997.
McCarthy, who recently declared for the 2024 NFL Draft, shared the news via a beachside photo on his Instagram, featuring their golden retriever puppy, Marley, with 'Engaged' as the location tag.
Kuropas, who has been a constant supporter from the bleachers, expressed her bittersweet feelings about McCarthy's departure for the NFL draft on Instagram, stating 'Best time of our lives ... sad to see it go but excited for the next journey.'
McCarthy leaves Michigan as a legend, with 2,991 passing yards and 22 touchdown passes in the 2023 season, raising expectations of a potential first-round pick in the NFL draft.
The couple's love story began at Nazareth Academy in Illinois and has endured for five years.
