Former UW player Drew Meyer deals with deaths of punter friends

Chicago — Former Wisconsin punter Drew Meyer and his passenger, Nebraska kicker Drew Brown, feared the worst.

"We essentially knew right away," Meyer said by phone Monday morning. "My heart sank. I knew that turn, living in that area."

Meyer, a graduate of Arrowhead High School, and Brown were driving through the Town of Merton late Saturday looking for three friends — Nebraska punter Sam Foltz, former Michigan State punter Mike Sadler and LSU kicker Colby Delahoussaye.

All five had spent the day working at Jamie Kohl's specialist camp at Kettle Moraine High School in Wales.
