Merrick Small is the Saints’ steady inside-out anchor
In the 2025-26 season, Merrick Small has been a high-efficiency frontcourt force for St. Francis (IL), averaging 15.8 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 29.3 minutes while shooting 56.5% from the field; he also led the team in field goals, free throws, assists and blocks, and earned CCAC Offensive Player of the Week honors twice. He looks like a rugged, versatile F/C who can finish, pass and hold his own physically—useful if you want a mature, productive glue guy rather than a pure shot-creator.
