Here&#8217;s what you need to know:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mertz had a 19-13 record as a starter at Wisconsin, where in 2019 he became the program&#8217;s highest-rated quarterback signee (No. 65 according to the 247Sports composite).<\/li>\n<li>Mertz firmed up his decision Tuesday, sources said.  He has two years of eligibility remaining.  The Gators needed quarterback help in the wake of Anthony Richardson declaring for the NFL Draft.<\/li>\n<li>After visiting Gainesville on Dec.  10, Mertz toured Kentucky over the weekend. <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/74Talk\/status\/1600685671752290304?s=20&amp;t=v1LKKHywmKxk1n0FZqnq0g\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">A media report<\/a> projected he would join the Wildcats, but they landed a commitment Tuesday from Devin Leary, the NC State transfer who also had been in contact with Florida.  Coastal Carolina&#8217;s Grayson McCall, among the more mobile quarterbacks in the portal, also had conversations with the Gators though no offer was extended.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>backstory<\/h2>\n<p>Mertz needed a reset after falling short of stratospheric expectations at Wisconsin.  Expectations were fueled by recruiting rankings and his five-touchdown debut against Illinois in 2020 as a redshirt freshman.  He compiled 38 touchdown passes and 26 interceptions in three years as a starter \u2014 a stretch where the Badgers began each season 18th or higher in the AP poll only to finish unranked.<\/p>\n<p>Mertz finished seventh in Big Ten passing efficiency this season (135), throwing for 2,136 yards, with 19 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.  That produced his highest individual passer rating as a starter, though the typically steady program lurched into upheaval Oct.  2 with the firing of eighth-year head coach Paul Chryst.  It was Chryst who stuck with the redshirt freshman Mertz late in 2020 after veteran Jack Coan recovered from a foot injury.  Coan left as a grad transfer and steered Notre Dame to an 11-2 record in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>After the Badgers wrapped up a 6-6 regular season, Wisconsin hired head coach Luke Fickell from Cincinnati in late November and Mertz announced he was entering the portal a week later.  The Badgers are preparing to face Oklahoma State in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl on Dec.  27.<\/p>\n<h2>What does this mean for Florida?<\/h2>\n<p>With Richardson departing and Jalen Kitna dismissed from the program, Florida needed to augment its quarterback depth in the portal.  Mertz possesses loads of Power 5 experience, though he isn&#8217;t the dual-threat player Napier relishes.  Mertz has minus-21 career rushing yards, along with eight career touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>Miller was sidelined by a thumb injury most of this season after transferring from Ohio State.  He finally surfaced in the Las Vegas Bowl, making the start in a 30-3 loss to Oregon State.  Miller completed 13 of 22 passes for 180 yards, raising his career attempts total to 36.<\/p>\n<p>Five-star commitment Jaden Rashada, primed to sign with the Gators on Wednesday, would need to make massive strides in order to lead the offense as a true freshman.  The other scholarship quarterback on the roster, freshman Max Brown, redshirted this season and did not see any action.<\/p>\n<h2>Required reading<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>(Photo: Jeff Hanisch \/ USA Today)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script>!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n        {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n        n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n        if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n        n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n        t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n        'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n        fbq('dataProcessingOptions', []);\n        fbq('init', '207679059578897');\n        fbq('track', 'PageView');<\/script>    .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GAINESVILLE, Fla. \u2014 Graham Mertz, a 32-game starter at Wisconsin, is bound for Florida, multiple sources with knowledge of the decision confirmed to The Athletic, joining a quarterback competition that features fellow Big Ten transferred Jack Miller.
