PROVO — Who’d have predicted the night BYU scatterbug Nate Meikle went off on the Cal Bears in the 2005 Las Vegas Bowl, catching 12 passes — about as many a Jonny Harline and Todd Watkins — that someday he’d be an egghead professor?
That’s exactly where Meikle’s pathway is taking him. He’s got a law degree from Stanford, a Ph.D. from the University of Utah, and he’s headed to Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business to be a postdoctoral teaching and research fellow.
I always thought he was just a great guy who was a pleasure to travel with as a KSL radio sideline reporter during all of this.
