I can think of several BEAUMONT AREA QB's that I saw last year that were better than Merka and I don't think I am alone with that assesment.

The two best QBs to the east (errr West) last season were at 3A schools anyhow, DeBerry and the up and coming gioant youngster Fitzwater in Liberty.
dayton Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Not so much as a qb but as an overall football prospect, I could def. see Merka in the top 5. He'll have a good college career IMO.

As I have said before he could be like the Phillips kid from Waller several years back that played QB in HS, but switched to LB at TCU and had a very good career.

D3zii Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 Sad But true..If your not the Idel height for you position, most colleges will overlook you for that player they can build on the 6'4 skinny player, that isnt as good as you but Looks the part..And its sad cause some of your better players are small, ecspeicaly at Central..This season was a big dissapointment, with the players going to college..We had so much talent but only 3 players sign..I asked the coach why, and he said because the college coaches think smallplayers cant take the pounding every day a bigger player can..ARE YOU SERIOUS, but hey thats just the way it is now and days
BearWolf Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 Yes, they will tell you that the small guy just can't withstand the wear and tear.
