Since Daniels reclassified to the 2018 class in the winter, the question about whether there is a five-star quarterback in the 2019 class had come up empty heading into the summer. Several prospects made strong cases in the last several months, however, and one of those was Wisconsin commit Graham Mertz
Mertz may not be as dynamic of an athlete as Justin Fields or rifle the football like Shea Patterson,
but he is mind-numbingly consistent, which is a great attribute to see out of a young quarterback. From his performance at the U.S. Army Junior Combine this past winter all the way through the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge in June, Mertz came through with impressive performance after impressive performance.
Being able to count on your quarterback to consistently deliver his best game after game is crucial for coaches, and Mertz is showing that potential as well as the intangibles necessary for success at the position. He brings positive charisma to the field and re-upped on his commitment to the Badgers in June after heavy courting from some of the game's top college programs this spring.
