Grace Harbaugh, the daughter of Michigan Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh, congratulated JJ McCarthy after he announced his engagement to long-time girlfriend Katya Kuropas.
McCarthy led the Michigan Wolverines to their first national championship title since 1997 and then declared for the 2024 NFL draft. The star quarterback popped the question to his high school sweetheart just weeks after winning the natty.
The couple shared a beachside photo on McCarthy's Instagram, featuring their golden retriever puppy, Marley, with "Engaged" as the location tag.
Adding to the celebratory chorus was Grace Harbaugh, who wrote:
"Congratulations🤍🥂"
The love story between Kuropas and McCarthy began at Nazareth Academy in Illinois around five years ago.
