I thought Merritt would be a kid that would get an LSU offer this summer at camp. He's a freakish athlete. Great news for Kirk. LSU becomes I believe the 5th SEC team to offer.

Jeez. Kids ripped and can play. Excellent offer. Love what Cameron's doing. Anyone seen what Grimes has been up to? He's recruiting his tail off. Haley is wrecking things up too! All star coaching staff

I like Merrit as a Percy Harvin weapon. He can take some jet sweeps but also be utilized in the passing game.


Doesn't have that speed.

DB, IMO. Guy keeps getting offers and if he keeps camping and getting his name out he'll hump to a 4*. (Not that it matters).

He could rise like Marshon Lattimore did last year. A few kids sky rocket up the rankings after summer camps at heavy media events.

Was he running in Fast Forward motion or were the defenders in sand on that 1st screen pass his acceleration! My Goodness

Merritt can serve the all-purpose back role that we saw in Palelei.

wonder how fast he is? anyone high school kid with a 40.5" vertical has to be pretty explosive, really quick. Anyone know if he is also a track guy?

Kirk is a three time AAU gold medalist in the 100 meter dash. He stop running track three years ago when he started weight training. His fastest time in the 100 meters was 11.3 seconds (F.A.T) when he was in 8th grade. He just recently began training for the outdoor season, he told me he is going to have a good season.

Glenn, what did the LSU staff tell you about the role that they see your son playing on the team?
