As long as he does a good job and stays healthy he could have a long career. Kickers and punters can play a lot longer than most other positions as they usually are not getting beaten down.

But Mesko knew they couldn’t pay for college any other way, so he devoted himself to the singular skill of kicking a football as high and far as he could.  Before his senior season, he’d become him the nation’s top punting prospect. Indiana offered him a full scholarship, then Harvard, Yale and every other Ivy League school offered him admission and financial aid. It still didn’t make sense to his parents, but they were no longer goingto question it.   

Mesko grew up a Buckeye fan,but when his mom researched his options, they quickly dismissed the home state team.  The Columbia coach told him, “We can’t guarantee you the NFL, but we can guarantee you Wall Street.”  Mesko wanted a shot at both, so he enrolled at Michigan.

John U Bacon rocks. Can't wait to take his class on college athletics.
