Andrew Meier brings veteran linebacker size, IQ, and versatility to South Dakota
Andrew Meier is listed as a South Dakota Coyotes linebacker, but the most reliable public trail found is thin on current-season production, so the headline here is profile, not stat-sheet flash. He’s a long, experienced defender who was originally a 6-foot-3, 180-pound freshman safety and eventually grew into a 6-foot-4, 228-pound linebacker, a strong sign of versatility and football IQ. The differentiator is his unusual path and multi-role background, which suggests instincts, toughness, and scheme flexibility — the kind of player coaches trust to line up correctly and keep the defense organized.
