When it comes to a college decision what will Merrill be looking for?
"I never had a favorite school when growing up, I was a huge New Orleans Saints fan and that was about it," Merrill said.
"I think the location will be a factor because I want my family to see me play. A place like Oxford Mississippi would be nice, because its away from everything.
"I'm just really trying to be open minded when it comes to decide on a school."
Whichever school Merrill chooses, they will get a hard worker who’s determined to make it to the next level.
This summer Merrill will be camping at Ole Miss and Florida.
