In the Las Vegas Bowl against Cal Berkeley (led by Marshawn Lynch and DeSean Jackson), Meikle set the Las Vegas Bowl record and BYU Bowl record with 12 receptions, although the cougars lost the game.[7][8][9][10] At the end of the season, Meikle was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American team and was awarded a football scholarship.[11][12][13]
