Drew Meyer was a career .320 hitter for South Carolina, but it’s an off-the-field 15-for-15 performance he perhaps values more.
“I had 15 classes when I came back,” Meyer said, “I and got 15 As and had a 4.0 to finish it out.”
Meyer’s alma mater begins play in the NCAA tournament at 2 p.m. Friday against Ohio State in Greenville, North Carolina. The 2018 Gamecocks (33-24) are now coached by Mark Kingston, USC’s second manager since Meyer starred for Ray Tanner in the early 2000s.
But don’t think the former All-American shortstop has lost touch with his forever program.
