Arkansas State University junior receiver Kirk Merritt has developed a pretty good connection with senior quarterback Justice Hansen in their less-than one season together.
They're having such a good year that Merritt has caught at least three passes in all 11 of ASU's games in 2018.
Hansen and his go-to target have played a big hand in the Red Wolves' (7-4, 4-3 Sun Belt Conference) three-game winning streak, including Saturday's 31-17 victory over Louisiana-Monroe at Centennials Bank Stadium in Jonesboro. The two have also played a big hand in the team scoring at least 31 points in its last five games.
