About Merritt Updated Sep 12, 2026

Kirk Merritt brings proven production and veteran explosiveness to Arkansas State

In the 2018 and 2019 seasons at Arkansas State, Kirk Merritt posted back-to-back high-impact years with 83 catches for 1,005 yards and 7 touchdowns, then 70 catches for 806 yards and 12 touchdowns, while also contributing heavily in the return game. He stands out for his playmaking versatility, toughness after the catch, and ability to stress defenses vertically or on designed touches. The bigger question is health and consistency after a pro journey that limited his recent statistical footprint, but if a team wants an experienced, physical, multi-use weapon, Merritt is absolutely worth the look.
