Dawson Merritt, a composite 4-star LB from Overland Park, Kan has exploded onto the recruiting scene the last couple months. He's picked up offers from nearly every major recruiting service and is ready to start narrowing things down.

As far his visits to this point, he's been around the country looking at a variety of schools. He attended two Junior Day's recently, making pit stops at Missouri and Kansas.

Missouri's junior day was more loaded with other players, but he still got the opportunity to connect with people. Merritt connected with current members of the team, stepping in on team meetings.

Merritt is in constant communication with a variety of Missouri coaches. "I talk to them honestly every day. I talk to Coach [D.J.] Smith and coach [Erik] Link frequently," Merritt said.

At Kansas, he had a more personable experience. With less people at the overall visit, he had a chance to make more connections with the players there and coaches. "It was definitely focused on me. I got to talk to a lot of people and I really liked the players and coaches there. I can tell they really value me as a player," Merritt said.
