I know he's just a true freshman, but could he play any worse than mertz?  maybe next year?

COMPARISON

Ben Roethlisberger PITTSBURGH STEELERS


Big, strong signal caller with a powerful down field arm. Might have the strongest arm in the ’21 class but is more then just a big arm, he’s a pure thrower who can change speeds and throws with timing and anticipation. Is accurate to all three levels of the field and boasts a quick, tight release and doesn’t need much of a wind up to get the ball down the field. Has worked hard to re-shape his body in the off-season and dropped about 20 pounds. Can still improve athletically and in his ability to extend plays and get outside the pocket but isn’t a bad athlete at all and does show good pocket presence and feel. The gene pool is strong in his family as well with three older sisters who played at the elite national level in water polo. He’s developing fast and shows the upside to be an upper tier Power 5 starter and future mid-high round NFL draft pick.

I heard about him and was surprised when he signed with Mertz onboard.  I would be they are keeping him on red shirt this year and he wont see the field.  No clue how good he is but hopefully he can push Mertz for playing time.  He can't be any worse than Mertz so far.
