Florida quarterback Graham Mertz is back for his 6th and final season of college football and is looking to make a significant jump in production in 2024. The former Wisconsin quarterback is coming off a career year with the Gators, tossing for collegiate highs in yards (2,910) and touchdowns (20) while throwing a career low three interceptions.

Head coach Billy Napier discussed the positive impact Mertz will have on Florida’s 2024 squad at SEC Media Days on Wednesday afternoon.

“The No. 1 storyline and the biggest decision that was made to affect our team is when Graham Mertz decided to come back and play quarterback for the Gators,” Napier said.
