Last year, I was asked on the radio who I thought had a higher ceiling/potential between Zach Wilson, Jordan Love and Tyler Huntley.
I received some criticism when I said Zach.
Now, with Heisman hype and first-round grades, a lot of people are seeing what I was referring to.

BYU made a STATEMENT tonight. Hard to ask for more than that. Another impressive showing from Zach, the offense as a whole and yet another stellar performance from the defense.
Cougs are rolling.

The criticism about playing a soft schedule is fair, but Zach Wilson’s ability to throw the football and the highlight throws he’s put on tape this season are undeniable. He has high level arm talent.

Zach Wilson is a significantly better prospect than Manziel was.

Zach Wilson is so much fun.

BYU OC Jeff Grimes absolutely should be a Broyles Award candidate. Absolute wizardry this season with Zach Wilson and tonight against Boise.

Would be flat out lying if I said I had top 5 QB expectations for Zach Wilson coming into the season but he is locked in there now

Welcome to the first-round conversation, Zach Wilson. #BYUvsBSU

I haven’t seen enough of Trey Lance to compare him to Wilson but I think I have seen enough of everybody else to be pretty sure Wilson is currently QB3 in FBS.

Just watched my entire tl fall in love with Zach Wilson

Zach Wilson might be best college qb rn now
— Elijah Battle (@Ebattle_19) November 7, 2020
Zach Wilson is no joke. Could bump this QB class up significantly the way he’s played.
— Jon Ledyard (@LedyardNFLDraft) November 7, 2020
Zach Wilson deserves a seat at the adult table.
Would love to see BYU against one of the big boys this season, not a group of 5 peace offering against Cincinnati
— Todd Fuhrman (@ToddFuhrman) November 7, 2020
Quite a statement by BYU. I'd love to see them have a shot. Zach Wilson and an athletic defense would give them a chance. But the schedule … Don't blame Tom Holmoe who deserves AD of the year for putting it together amid a pandemic.
— Dennis Dodd (@dennisdoddcbs) November 7, 2020
Zach Wilson is gifted and yeah @BroncoSportsFB are down to their 4th QB, but if ya don’t see that this team is the BEST in the WEST pending what we see from @oregonfootball once the @pac12 gets started? I’m not sure if you’ve ever cared about CFB. Finding opponents will be tough!

Sitake just throwing the entire playbook at Boise State.
No mercy.
Zach Wilson shows absolute control.
All the time.
Amazing.— Carlos M. Ramírez (@Tomapapa) November 7, 2020

Let's talk about that Mac Jones-Zach Wilson 1-4 matchup. I ain't hating it.

Buddy, Zach Wilson can sling it.

BYU's Zach Wilson has made an entrance on my Top 5 Heisman watch. This QB is Elway-esque (not quite the same arm strength but everything else looks like Elway).
