The event was held prior to the Wildcat’s spring game against Edna Karr and collected over 800 pounds of food for Second Harvest. Merritt’s fellow teammates WR Rashid Shaheed and CB Troy Pride Jr. also attended the event to show their support.

Merritt is a Destrehan native, who signed with the Saints in 2022.
