Recruitment Rundown
Notre Dame was in the driver’s seat for the majority of Merriweather’s recruitment, but he remained relatively patient. But even after toying with the idea of letting the process play into his senior season, but the time he completed his official visit in June, the Irish had a huge lead. He announced his commitment in August, choosing Notre Dame over Michigan, Stanford and a host of Pac-12 programs.

Union HC Rory Rosenbach
“Physically, he is pretty unique and pretty special. I think what helps him other than just that he is a genetic freak is that he grew up in a family of athletes.

“He's one of those kids you never worry about. You tell those kids, 'Hey, you're not only representing yourself, you're representing your family, your school, blah, blah, blah.' And he's just one of those kids you never worry about going out and doing something silly in the community or doing something that's going to not only negatively impact himself, but negatively impact our program and our school.”

ISD Expert Jamie Uyeyama
I believe Merriweather can be a back-shoulder monster on the boundary with the added piece of what he can produce after the catch. Put simply, he’s someone who has the potential to be a go-to player when they need to move the sticks and also be someone who they target when they need a big play.

It’s not easy to land that type of receiver who can be a true number one, but I see that kind of ceiling for Merriweather at Notre Dame.

Favorite ISD Quote
”At the end of the day, they just told me straight how it would be if I came and really got to know me and I got to know some of the guys the guys there. After that, we went to visit another school, but it just didn’t feel the same…I just knew it was the right choice for me.”
