Fun interview with Georgia’s top LS Scott Meyer
Written by Ryan Wright
When we last checked in with Blessed Trinity High School long snapper Scott Meyer he was named the best snapper in the state of Georgia by the Atlanta Journal Constitution but has since added a new honor to his growing list of accolades, he’s now a Chris Rubio rated 5-star recruit.
The 6’1”, 210 pound, prospect has been considered an elite special teams performer over the past two seasons twice being named to Rubio’s Elite 12 out of the 2016 recruiting class. Now Meyer is ranked No. 10 in the nation and has top programs like Mississippi State, Georgia, Miami, Georgia Tech, South Florida, Penn State, Alabama, and Wisconsin all interested in his services at the collegiate level. After competing at the Alabama, South Florida, and Cincinnati camps Meyer was named long snapper camp MVP.
We quizzed Scott previously in an in-depth interview all about his exploits on the gridiron but wanted to know more. In an on-going Recruiting News Guru “getting to know you” Q&A series, we put the prized special teams recruit through another test in an attempt to better know the player off the field.
