Expert Analysis
Isaac Erckert | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Merchant had a productive weekend, tallying five goals along with two assists. Named First Team All-MSLA at midfield, the Ohio State commit has blistering speed, and an explosive shot to go along with it. He was a matchup problem when isolating his defenders, often drawing a quick slide.

If I’m the first person to call him the ‘Speed Merchant’ then I’d be shocked. This kid can fly – he’s that athlete you give the ball to play keep-away when running out the clock. After posting two late assists at Spalding, the future Buckeye followed that up by burying a low-to-high from the left wing at Gilman and then helped put the game away on a score with less than two minutes left. He’s super shifty with the ball in his stick and doesn’t necessarily need the ball to be successful. Merchant got on the board at Severn when he made a pretty cut, handled a high pass then finished with his left hand. Confident attacking the net when inverting, he’s got excellent vision and does a nice job distributing the ball to his teammates from different release points.
