Meyr was a two-year player for the Lions roaming the outfield after transferring to Southern from Forrest Park Community College in St. Louis.
 
Meyr was the 2001 Ken B. Jones award winner which is given annually to the top student-athlete in all of the MIAA. That season, Meyr was second in the MIAA in batting average (.457) and that mark still stands as the third-best ever single-season mark in MSSU history.
 
That year, Meyr led the team in average (.457), runs (71), hits (85), doubles (22), home runs (7), RBIs (73), slugging (.720) and on base percentage (.720). Meyr finished the year by earning MIAA Player of the Year honors, as well as being named first-team All-MIAA. He was a first-team All-Region honoree, while earning third-team All-American honors that season.
 
His honors didn't stop on the field, however, as Meyr was a first-team Academic All-District honoree that year carrying a 3.71 GPA as a math education major. He was also a member of the MSSU Dean's List and the MIAA Academic Honor Roll.
 
A native of Perryville, Mo., Meyr graduated from Missouri Southern in 2002 with a degree in math education and is currently a high school math teacher at Galena High School where he is the head basketball coach and assistant baseball coach. He has a wife, Breanna and the couple has five children, Lane, Rylie, Emma, Jaci and Colton.
