Despite two of the Power Five conferences canceling their fall football seasons and the issues surrounding eligibility being unsolved at the moment, Luke Easterling of DraftWire published his “Early QB rankings for the 2021 NFL Draft” on Friday and coming in at No. 23 is Wisconsin quarterback Jack Coan.

Other Big Ten quarterbacks in the rankings are Ohio State’s Justin Fields at No. 2, Minnesota’s Tanner Morgan at No. 5, Penn State’s Sean Clifford at No. 22 and Nebraska’s Adrian Martinez at No. 24.
TheDraftNetwork’s ranking of Coan is in the same ballpark as DraftWire’s as they have him as the No. 272 overall prospect and No. 18 quarterback for the upcoming NFL Draft.
Coan is entering his senior season with the Badgers so, as referred to above, since the Big Ten canceled their fall season whether he will be able to play in the spring or next fall is yet to be decided.
One thing that is known at this point, though, is that the New York native helped his draft stock immensely last season but still needs another productive year to see himself drafted before the sixth or seventh round.
Hopefully we haven’t seen the end of Jack Coan in a Wisconsin Badger uniform.
