Over the last six years, Merritt has been an integral part of the
men's soccer program, assuming various roles as a player and an
assistant coach. He played for the team for four years while earning
his bachelor's degree from LCU. As a player, he was a starting
forward and led the team in goals scored in multiple years,
including his freshman year. For the last two years, he has served
as an assistant coach for LCU's men's soccer team. As an assistant,
he has aided in the transitioning process of two head coaches. In
addition to his coaching duties at LCU, Merritt has been involved
