[1] At Pittsburg High School, Meier was a two-time first team all-state selection and was named an honorable mention All-American.

Meier opened his sophomore season as the starting quarterback,[3] becoming the first Kansan to do so in the Bill Snyder era.

His best outing of this season may have been in an away game against Texas A&M, where he recorded career highs in completions (29), attempts (45) and touchdowns (3).

His completion total, which included connections to eight different receivers, was just four shy of Kansas State's single-game record.

Though Meier was not in shape to start at Kansas the following week, he nevertheless came off the bench in the second half to register a career-high for passing yards (249).

In this game he connected with WR Yamon Figurs for a 38-yard touchdown strike in the second quarter to give Wildcats 14–7 edge.

[4] He tossed his first career touchdown vs. Fresno State, connecting with Davin Dennis from 47 yards out.

He connected with seven different receivers vs. the Red Raiders and was K-State's leading rusher with 84 yards on 16 carries.

He came off the bench in the fourth quarter at Colorado with 3:15 to play and drove the Wildcats to the game-tying touchdown with 0:36 remaining.

He earned his team's Ken Ochs Courage Award for his grit and determination in the face of injuries during the season.
