It was expected to happen sooner rather than later and it was announced on Monday that Cade McNamara had entered the transfer portal.
Max Olson with The Athletic was the first to break the story.

In 2021, McNamara helped lead Michigan to its first win over Ohio State in eight years. He also helped the Wolverines make their first Big Ten Championship game in 2021 and their first trip to the College Football Playoff.
The former four-star recruit in the class of 2019 began this season as the starting quarterback but lost the job to J.J. McCarthy.
In three seasons playing for Michigan, McNamara totaled 3,181 passing yards, 21 touchdown passes and seven interceptions.
He chose Michigan over Alabama, Notre Dame and Georgia among others.
We will continue to update you with more information when it comes available.
