Wisconsin transfer QB Graham Mertz plans to commit to Florida: Sources

Mertz had a 19-13 record as a starter at Wisconsin, where in 2019 he became the program’s highest-rated quarterback signee.

Despite what Badger fans thought of Mertz, he would have been their starter next year if their AD hadn’t hired a HC that runs a totally different offense.

The one thing about Mertz was, when the going got tough he folded like a cheap tent. Good luck to him.

Is Florida football still a "thing"? Seriously, when's the last time they were on the national stage? Tebow era?

I think this part of the reason why they're happy they have a new coach.

Not much difference between Mertz and Richardson, similar playing styles .

I don't care who you are, that's pretty damn good. Well done

It’s hard to argue…

When he hands off the ball, they run really well.

Plenty of good QBs portaling and they do this

Who knows. Mertz versus top SEC defenses should be interesting. Let’s see how it works out.

Cue the Dodgeball "That's bold strategy, Cotton" GIF.

Remember after his first game against Lovie Smiths Illini defense when he threw for 5 TD's and everyone crowned him the next great thing (even some national pundits). Perhaps FL feels like they can tap into that. Would love to see him tear up the SEC after getting creamed in B1G.
