Experienced UCF Tight End With a Red-Zone Profile
Mike Merritt is a former UCF tight end whose most notable value was as a dependable, physical in-line option rather than a high-volume pass-catcher; in his UCF career notes, he showed the ability to contribute in multiple game situations, including a two-catch, 14-yard outing at East Carolina and a start at USF. His differentiator was football practicality: size, toughness, and the willingness to do the dirty work that helps an offense function. If you want a TE who can handle assignment-heavy snaps and complement the scheme, he fits the mold.
