After being named Second Team All-Conference as a freshman, he was named to the First Team in his sophomore season. Prior to Merritt, Haruna attended Whitesands School in his native Nigeria. There he competed in soccer and track and field and was named MVP of his team in five straight seasons. In two seasons with the varsity team, he scored 22 goals and recorded nine assists across 38 matches. "I chose Saint Mary's because it gives me the incredible opportunity to play soccer at the highest level while receiving a world-class education," said Haruna. "SMC, unlike any other school in the world, provides a basis in many things. I see this university more than a citadel of higher learning but an institution where students can grow in all aspects of life, becoming individuals who want to make a real impact in their communities and enrich the lives of people in those communities and the world at large." Haruna will study mathematics with a concentration in computer science. After graduating, he aspires to play professional soccer and further his studies with a goal of starting an IT business to serve underprivileged areas of Nigeria and Africa in general.
