Expert Analysis
Mark Johnson | Prep Redzone Scout
Morgan is another athlete on this list looking for his first offer. That is fine for Morgan after he has spent his career backing up the state’s former QB1. 2026 is Morgan’s time, though. Or at least he will be in a competition for it to be. Morgan is now up to 6’3″ 185 lbs, so he is looking the part. On tape you see that he was clearly working hard in his time as backup. The technique is crisp and clean. Everything seems to have a purpose and it leads to him maximizing velocity and pinpoint accuracy on a lot of his attempts. He is also a very quick decision-maker. I’m excited to see how things click for the potential breakout QB.

The biggest shoes to fill are that of West De Pere’s QB1 spot. They rostered the Player of the Year and the state’s leader in TD passes for the past two seasons. Two seasons that led to a new career passing TD record in the state of WI. But nobody is expecting that to be replaced. The next QB1 for the Phantoms needs to come in and learn the system and execute it to his best abilities. WDP has a new head coach leading the team, so that could lead to changes to philosophies potentially.
The QB that looks to be next in line is Morgan Mertens Morgan Mertens 6'3" | 175 lbs | QB West De Pere | 2027 State WI . Morgan has grown to 6’3″ 180 lbs now and has developed the arm to execute a lot of the throws needed in the WDP offense. He can get outside the pocket, be accurate from the pocket or on the move, and he will have plenty of weapons around the offense to support his growth during the season. I’m very excited to watch Morgan take this job and leave his mark.
