After spending a season at DePaul, the Holy Cross grad is headed to the University of Alabama-Birmingham to play for Andy Kennedy and the Blazers. This will be Meyer’s third school in three years.
After becoming the all-time leading scorer in 9th Region history in his high school career with the Indians, Meyer took his talents to Coastal Carolina University. Meyer thrived with the Chanticleers, finishing fifth in Division I among true freshman with 15.7 points per game. Meyer decided to up the competition and transfer to DePaul and play for Chris Holtman.
Meyer started his Blue Demons career strong with double-digit scoring in 17 of his first 18 games, but finished with just one more in his last 15 games. He closed out his sophomore campaign in Chicago with 8.9 points per game on 38% shooting from the field.
