Skinny: Meager’s statistics show his skills as both a runner and a thrower. But he would like to be more of a pro-style passer.
“I would like to be more of a drop-back quarterback,” Meager said. “But our current offensive line I’m more of a running quarterback. It works well, but that is something I want to work on.”
Meager’s wanting to be a drop back passer can be tied to who he lists as his sports hero.
“I’ve always liked John Elway. He was a drop-back guy who could move around some. He had a great arm too.”
While no scholarship offers have come Meager’s way yet, he knows it is early.
“I’m getting lots of mail, and it is early in the process still. I’ve got time to look at things and see what schools are like.”
One factor in Meager’s decision will be where the school is.
“The location of a school will be a big factor for me. There are other things to look at too, but that will be a big factor.”
