Neal Sharma brings size, power, and backfield disruption to Merrimack’s defensive front
Neal Sharma is a 6-foot-1, 290-pound freshman defensive tackle at Merrimack who arrives with a reputation for wrecking run plays and collapsing pockets, not just occupying space. Merrimack’s own signing notes credited him with 52 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and 10+ tackles for loss in his senior season at McDonogh, plus a “great ability to get off the ball” and a relentless motor. For a team that wants an interior tone-setter with physicality and disruption upside, Sharma looks like a smart early-career bet.
