Early years
Sam Mercury was born in Auburn, Washington where he still resides today. Growing up he fell in love with the game of football from an early age. He would enjoy playing many positions growing up but by the time he reached High School he settled on wide receiver. Mercury would go on to set several school records both seasonal records and career records while bringing one state title to his High School. After his senior season was over Mercury was in the process of getting recruited and trying to find his next move. His coach would tell colleges that Mercury was the most talented receiver he has ever coached and dedicated to his craft. He stated that Mercury was a coaches dream and he wish more players could be like him. No matter where Mercury would go next he was bound to achieve success with his work ethic and natural ability on the field.
College career
Sam would end up receiving three full ride scholarship spread out across the country. His home town University of Washington, Utah, and the University of Mississipi would be the three Mercury was choosing from. After much deliberation, Sam Mercury signed a scholarship with the University of Mississipi aka Ole Miss. There he would spend his first season mostly on the bench as he developed his skill set. However when his sophomore season came around Mercury catapulted up the depth chart and would be in the main rotation of receivers. He would go on to catch 43 passes for 546 yards and 3 touchdowns. While these stats were moderate on paper they represented a huge jump in his development and would set the stage for his breakout junior season. When some talented seniors moved on it was Mercury who was set up to benefit the most for playing time. All the hard work he put in during his first two years would show up in his junior season when he led the team with 87 catches for 1,456 yards and 11 touchdowns. After that season Mercury decided he was ready to turn pro and he set his sights towards joining the ISFL.
