Jaheim Merriweather is a big-play Troy back who’s already showing RB1 juice
In the 2026 season, Jaheim Merriweather has been Troy’s most explosive runner through two games, with 19 carries for 149 yards and 3 touchdowns, and his 69-yard score against Alabama State showed the kind of burst that flips a game fast[13][14]. At 6-foot-2 and 210 pounds, he brings a downhill, contact-friendly build with enough speed to stress the edges, and his early production suggests he can be a difference-maker if you want a physical back who can hit chunk plays[1][15].
