Following his Junior Day visit to Notre Dame, Merrill dropped his Top 5 schools on his social media accounts and listed them as Notre Dame, Penn State, Wisconsin, Clemson, and Alabama. Just four days later he announced his decision to commit to Notre Dame. This is another big win in recruiting for Coach Joe Rudolph, as he adds yet another highly talented offensive lineman to the 2026 class.
