Hawkeye Football | Who Is? Fullback Matt Meyers

If you've been eyeballing all of the latest pictures posted on HawkeyeSports.com from the first few Hawkeye practices you may have seen this name, Matt Meyers. He's popped up more than once in the small sample of pics we've been teased with thus far.

Matt Meyers is a 6'2" 215 pound redshirt freshman from Plainfield, Illinois. Meyers joined the team last year as a walk-on. According to his Hawkeye Sports bio Meyers was honorable mention All-State in football and wrestled at North High School.

I wrote a little bit about Meyers in March when I asked, If Rogers is out, who is in? Meyers made a move from linebacker to fullback and if the pictures from practice tell the story he may be seeing snaps as the number two guy. Brad Rogers isn't practicing and is being monitored by the Iowa City Hospital. That means the fullback spot is Jonathan Gimm, maybe Jacob Reisen and then followed by a question mark.

We'll know more about the fullback position following the open practice this Saturday. If Meyers is currently second string we will surely see him on the field in the home opener against Tennesse Tech.
