Wisconsin landed their quarterback early in the process with a commitment from Kansas City’s Graham Mertz
last October. It has not been easy going for the Badgers since then, however, as 14 schools from Alabama to Oregon have offered Mertz since that pledge. He has made visits to schools like Georgia, Ohio State and Notre Dame, but maintains his commitment to Wisconsin is strong.
On the field, Mertz has been making big news as well, and is now up to the No. 4 pro-style quarterback in the 2019 class while also jumping 162 spots to make his debut in the Rivals100. The steady rise in the rankings since he debuted outside the Rivals250 when the 2019 rankings were first released is due to Mertz showing consistent progression and few flaws. He may not quite have the elite arm talent as some of the top passers to come out in recent years, like Trevor Lawrence
or Hunter Johnson, but he still has a pretty exceptional arm with clean mechanics and the ability to make all the throws.
