Merrill is a fast rising 2026 RB that recently pulled in his first two D1 offers from Portland State and Georgetown. 5’9” 195 lbs. he’s got a strong compact frame with a skillset that blends his toughness, balance and explosiveness out of the backfield. With a low center of gravity, he runs with good pad level and contact balance, making him difficult to bring down on first contact. He shows decisive footwork and vision, hitting running lanes with speed while navigating traffic with sharp lateral cuts and quick acceleration. He shows plus short area burst through the second level and good elusiveness once he works to space. A reliable receiving threat out of the backfield to round out his skillset as a complete, every-down back. Highly productive in the 2024 season with 1,250 scrimmage yards and 17 touchdowns.
