Monday morning, Head Coach Paul Chryst confirmed that starting quarterback Jack Coan will be out indefinitely with a non-contact foot injury sustained on a routine drop-back pass in practice. His timetable to return is to be determined, but it’s expected that the senior will miss at least the first few games of the season. In the absence of the University of Wisconsin’s senior signal-caller, here’s who will need to step up.
Redshirt freshman quarterback Graham Mertz
Mertz only appeared in two games in 2019 at the tail end of blowout wins against Central Michigan and Kent State, but this highest-rated quarterback recruit in Badger football history is next up on the depth chart for the Badgers.
