2026 Hedgesville DL Brandon Merchant Brandon Merchant Brandon Merchant 6'3" | 260 lbs | DL/OL Hedgesville | 2026 State WV stands out immediately for his frame and raw strength, giving him a physical foundation that can’t be taught. His technique remains inconsistent, particularly with pad level and hand usage, but he shows flashes when he plays with proper leverage. With time in a college weight room and detailed coaching, his size alone gives him developmental upside at the D3 level.

A two-way 2026 lineman for Hedgesville to utilize this season is OL/DL Brandon Merchant Brandon Merchant Brandon Merchant 6'3" | 260 lbs | DL/OL Hedgesville | 2026 State WV . He has a frame that could transform and develop into a player on either side of the line in college if he wants to continue his playing career after high school. Merchant is a raw athlete who could make strides as a player this season and at the next level with further development, but is someone for small colleges to keep tabs on this fall to see how he’s progressed.
