Bob Meers was a three-year letterwinner in football, earning all-Yankee Conference and all-New England honors in each of his three seasons.

By the time he left UMass, Meers held school marks for career (82) and single-season receptions (39), shared the record for most receptions in a game (nine), and ranked second in receiving yards in a game (146), career receiving yards (1,104), single-season receiving yards per game (58.9) and career receiving yards per game (40.9).

Meers still ranks among the top-15 all-time at UMass in career receptions.

A tri-captain of the 1965 team, Meers was a seventh-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings in the 1966 NFL Draft.

Meers was inducted into the UMass Athletics Hall of Fame in 1999.
