Urban Meyer has remained out of college football since announcing his retirement in December 2018, but his son is carrying on the family legacy.
Nate Meyer joined the Cincinnati football team as a walk-on wide receiver, head coach Luke Fickell confirmed to Yahoo Sports' Pete Thamel on Wednesday.
Fickell added that he projects Meyer to be a special teams player after the 21-year-old sophomore has been a scholarship baseball player at Cincinnati, while Thamel noted that Meyer's decision to switch stems from wanting "to better prepare himself for his goal of becoming a college football coach, as he's hoping to follow in his father's footsteps.
