Former 4-star recruit Kirk Merritt announced his intention to transfer to the Texas A&M Aggies on Friday, according to a post on his official Twitter account.
Merritt played for the Oregon Ducks in 2015 after committing to the Pac-12 power following a standout career at Destrehan High School in Louisiana, but the electric playmaker decided to bolt from the program after just one season.
A heralded athlete prospect during his time at Destrehan, Merritt emerged as the seventh-ranked player in the state of Louisiana and the fifth-ranked all-purpose back among 2015 recruits.
