📈🚨 NEW RANKINGS 🚨📉 The Class of 2024 Rivals250 is here! The biggest movers: Full ranking: adamgorney shares his position-by-position thoughts:
Merklinger has emerged as one of the better quarterback prospects in this class after an outstanding junior season. He had an impressive stat line featuring a completion percentage near 70-percent and just two interceptions to 32 passing touchdowns. On film, Merklinger shows off great pocket awareness and the ability to deliver an accurate pass, even with pressure in his face. He has really good arm strength and great downfield accuracy.
He has the quickness to take off and run for big chunks of yards and isn’t afraid to take a hit. Merklinger isn't asked to throw into many tight windows on crossing routes, but he appears to have the arm strength and the anticipation abilities to do so. He has a mechanically sound throwing motion and isn’t afraid to let it fly while on the run. Merklinger has good footwork most of the time, but could be more consistent when throwing from a clean pocket.
At this point, Fields relies mostly on his physical gifts to blanket receivers in his area, but once he refines his footwork, he could become one of the highest-ranked defensive backs in this class., Ohio State, Oregon and LSU to get him on campus this spring.
