You watch his film, the kid clearly has a big arm on him and a nice touch on the ball. Since he has a year in DeBoer’s system, I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see him win the starting job.
Of course, if that happens, I can pretty much guarantee you Simpson and Milroe will transfer out and maybe even Lonergan too.

OB Battle over the next 3 to 7 months
#1 issue will be who can learn the system and make the reads. Mack has a 8 month headstart.
Ty Simpson - High release with alot of juice but his movement is very jerky. Ty seems to be best on the move moreso than in the pocket. Pre-snap reads appear to be pretty good. His foot placement is reasonably good but not great. Because his release is so high, it is also a bit slow.
Dylan Lonergan - intermediate level release with a relatively quick action. Pretty good juice on the ball coming out but not quite as strong as that of Simpson. Very quiet and clean body movement in the pocket with very good foot placement. Pre-snap reads from HS looked to be pretty good but not enough info since then. Post-snap reads from HS looked to be very good but not enough info since then.
Austin Mack - Tall with an intermediate level release. His release point is close to on par with that of Simpson but with his height an intermediate level release, his release is much quicker than that of Simpson and slightly better than that of Lonergan. Quieter body and feet in than Simpson in the pocket but not quite as clean as that of Lomergan. Arm strength is on Par with Simpson and better than that of Lonergan.
Ball placement / acuracy - all 3 look to be pretty good but Lonergan looks to be the best.
Throwing WR open - Lonergan looks to be the best with Mack very close. Simpson trails Mack a little bit.
Running when a play breaks down - hands down, SImpson is the best. Lonergan looks to be a little better than Mack.
Pocket presence - Mack then Lonergan then Simpson
Leadership - I have no clue
Jalen Milroe - I did not include him in the comparison. We have all seen what he is good at and where he has issues. I am assuming he is the leader for the first snap of spring and the others would have to show who is #2 before they can try to overtake Milroe. Milroe leadership may be his best asset and will be a tough thing for the others to beat.

Milroe
Simpson
Mack
Lonergan
2-3 of those 4 won’t be here in a year, it’s just a question of which ones leave and which ones stay.
I am content to let it play out but will be watching VERY closely how the careers of Julian Sayin and Austin Mack go because I was a massive fan of Sayin both in terms of his production and how zero drama he was during his recruitment.
