Zoltan Mesko (Hungarian: Meskó Zoltán; born March 6, 1986) is an American football punter who has completed his athletic career for the Michigan Wolverines. A native of Romania, he emigrated with his family to the United States and eventually settled in Ohio. There he was discovered as a potential kicker for his school football team. He went on to become one of the best high school football kickers in the nation, excelling as both a punter and placekicker. After earning top honors in his state, he was recruited by several college football teams. He selected Michigan over several schools including Indiana and USC.

At Michigan, he did not win the starting job as a punter right away. He redshirted his freshman year and won a battle for the kicking duties on the field in 2006. He has since gone on to excel on the field as a three-time Ray Guy Award watchlist candidate and off the field as a three-time Academic All Conference selection. He has also been recognized for his character and community service by numerous organizations. As a redshirt junior in 2008, he endured the dynamics of a coaching change and became a 2008 All-Big Ten first-team selection. As a fifth-year senior in 2009, he made some preseason All-American teams and has maintained the highest punting average of his college career. He concluded his season as a 2009 All-Big Ten first-team selection by both the coaches and the media.[1]

[edit] Early years

Mesko, born in Timişoara, lived there with his family in 1989 during the revolutions leading to the fall of communism in the former Eastern Bloc and the overthrow of dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu in Romania. The family was so immersed in the middle of the crossfire that they often dodged bullets by getting on the floor in their apartment. Zoltan was just passing through toddlerhood at the time of the revolution so he does not remember much of the details,[2] but the family stuffed windows with pillows during the conflict.[3] Prior to the overthrow, the family dealt with the realities of communism, such as having to wait seven years to buy a car even though they had the money.[3]

As a child, Mesko had a strong interest in soccer.[4] At the age of twelve, he immigrated with his family to Ohio and Mesko was introduced to American football when he was spotted as a potential kicker in seventh grade gym class when he knocked out a light during a kickball game.[5][6] Mesko is a left-footed kicker.[7] Mesko, who could not distinguish a football from a rugby ball when he first arrived in the states, familiarized himself with the sport of American football via the television.[8]

In 2003, Mesko earned Northeast Ohio Inland All-District Division II football team honorable mention recognition from the media while performing as a punter and placekicker for Twinsburg High School.[9] He was also selected as Western Reserve North Division First-team by the coaches as well as the All-Summit County Team kicker.[10][11] The Plain Dealer listed him as their first team kicker.[12] During the year, he was 10 for 14 on field goals, while only missing one point after touchdown attempt and averaging 36 yards per punt.[11] He placed 80% of his kickoffs in the end zone and maintained a 4.0 grade point average.[12] During the season he made a 41-yard field goal and a game-winning 31-yard field goal.[12][13] By the end of the season, he had started 31 consecutive games.[4] Twinsberg qualified for the state playoffs for the first time in ten years thanks in part to a solid kicking game.[4] During his his junior year, he got his first recruiting feeler from Division III Mount Union College.[5]

After his junior season, he compiled tapes of his best punts, field goals, and kickoffs and sent them to 86 schools, hoping for ten responses. As a result of his tapes, he received 14 invitations for campus visits.[5] He attended 16 kicking camps during his junior/senior summer.[4] On June 6 he attended an Indiana University camp and received a full scholarship offer from the Hoosiers.[4][5] Subsequently, at the University of Michigan camp, he averaged 48.5 yards per punt and a 4.6 second average hang time and was offered a scholarship.[4] During the visit he impressed coaches when he saw fifth-year punter Adam Finley kicking balls on the roof of the Michigan indoor practice facility and joined in by kicking four in a row over the building.[5] Mesko decided he'd give it a shot and kicked four in a row over the building. Although, he was an Ohio State Buckeyes football fan, he was not sought after by the Buckeyes who had recruited a punter the prior year.[4][5]

Mesko had a successful high school career and was ranked second among kickers in the 2005 recruiting class by Rivals.com and fourth among punters by Scout.com.[14][15] He committed to Michigan on June 28, 2004, just before his senior year of high school.[16] He committed to Michigan mainly as a punter.[17] After committing to Michigan, he continued to be recruited by USC Trojans football.[5] Over the course of his high school career, he evolved from a 155-pound (70.3 kg), 6-foot-2-inch (1.88 m) freshman into a 230-pound (104.3 kg), 6-foot-4-inch (1.93 m) senior.[4]

As a senior, Mesko once punted a ball 70 yards in the air.[18] As a senior punter and placekicker Mesko was a part of the focus of opposition game plans.[19] He averaged 44 yards per punt as a senior and dropped 16 inside the 10-yard line according to The Plain Dealer and 15 inside the 15-yard line according to the Ann Arbor News.[20][8] He was selected to play in the January 15, 2005 U.S. Army All-American Bowl as a punter.[21] During the game he drew a roughing the kicker penalty and posted seven punts including kicks of 56, 48 and 47 yards and a pooch punt that he placed inside the 15-yard line.[22] He was named an Associated Press Division II All-Ohio first-team punter.[23] He was also selected to numerous local area All-star teams as both a punter and a placekicker. He served as both punter and kicker for the Ohio team during the 2005 Big 33 Football Classic in which he was 4 for 5 on PATs.[24][25] He was recognized as the 2004 Northeast Inland All-District Division II first team punter by the media.[26] He was selected as the All-Akron Beacon Journal team placekicker and the all-Summit County punter.[27][28] The Akron area coaches selected him as both the punter and kicker for the All-Western Reserve Conference, North Division first-team.[29] He was selected to the combined Summit-Medina-Portage Counties All-Area team as the first team punter by The Plain Dealer.[30] He was the first team punter for The Plain Dealer All-area team.[31] Although Mesko's high school required 40 hours of community service, he performed over 300 hours.[8]

[edit] College career

[edit] Lloyd Carr era

Prior to the 2005 NCAA Division I FBS football season, it appeared that the 2005 Michigan Wolverines football team would use three kickers: Garrett Rivas for field goals and extra points, Ross Ryan for kickoffs and Mesko for punting,[32] but redshirt junior Ryan beat out Mesko and junior Mark Spencer for the punting duties.[33] Mesko redshirted as a freshman at Michigan in 2005, while Ryan ranked last in the Big Ten for the 2005 season with a 38.3 yard average.[34]

Entering the 2006 NCAA Division I FBS football season for the 2006 Michigan Wolverines football team, head coach Lloyd Carr could not decide between Mesko and Ryan.[35] In the team's opening game against Vanderbilt, Mesko punted three times and Ryan once.[36] The two shared the kicking duties for the first four games with Mesko recording 12 punts and Ryan recording 9.[37][38][39][40] In the fifth game of the season, against the Minnesota Golden Gophers for the Little Brown Jug, Mesko handled all of the punting duties.[41] Ryan punted only five more times the rest of the season.[42] Mesko finished the season fourth in the Big Ten and 38th in the nation in punting average.[43][44] Mesko earned Academic All-Big Ten Conference recognition for earning a letter while maintaining a 3.0 average during the fall.[45]

Prior to the 2007 NCAA Division I FBS football season, Mesko adjusted his kicking technique to a straight motion instead of a cross-over like National Football League punters.[46] He was a preseason Ray Guy Award watchlist nominee.[47] After Rivas graduated, the 2007 Michigan Wolverines football team had a battle for the placekicking duties for the 2007 season between redshirt freshman Bryan Wright and two walk-ons.[48] When the team had two fourth quarter field goals blocked during the September 1 the opening game 34–32 loss to two-time defending FCS champion Appalachian State Mountaineers, Mesko was an uninvolved third stringer but handled punting duties.[49] Mesko finished the season fifth in the Big Ten in punting average,[50] and was again Academic All-Conference.[51]

[edit] Rich Rodriguez era

When Rich Rodriguez arrived to replace the retired Carr prior to the 2008 NCAA Division I FBS football season, he announced the 2008 Michigan Wolverines football team would be using a new punting formation along with the spread offense. Instead of using two gunners, the team switched to using six, and Mesko switched to rolling out and using directional kicks.[52] The plan called for a mixture of employing traditional pocket punts and roll out for rugby style ones.[53] Mesko said the changes to the team were so drastic under Rodriguez that he felt like he had transferred.[54] On all seven of his punts in the opening game against Utah, Mesko rolled out to his left before punting.[55] The new punt scheme was part of the option offense and could have resulted in a fake punt.[55] In Michigan's third game against Notre Dame on September 13, Mesko executed an option run for 13 yards and a first down.[56][57] Mesko also executed a seven-yard option run for a first down against Minnesota on November 8 in the Little Brown Jug game.[58] Mesko had a couple of punts blocked during the season,[59][60] and one was returned for a touchdown during the Michigan – Ohio State rivalry game.[61] During the season, Mesko served as K.C. Lopata's holder on placekicks.[62] Mesko repeated a Guy Award watchlist candidate in 2008.[47] After the list was narrowed from fifty to ten, Mesko was a semifinalist for the award.[63] Mesko led the Big Ten in punting average and finished twentieth in the nation.[64][65] He was named to the Big Ten All Conference First-Team in 2008.[66] He was recognized by Phil Steele as a fourth team All-American for 2008.[67] Mesko was Academic All-Conference for a third time.[68] At the conclusion of the 2008–09 academic year, the inaugural class of Big Ten Distinguished Scholars was recognized for having attained a 3.7 GPA for the academic year while earning varsity letters,[69] and Mesko was among the honorees.[70]

In 2009, Mesko was again a Guy Award watchlist candidate for the 2009 Michigan Wolverines.[71] He was also a pre-season Playboy All-American and NationalChamps.net first-team All-American.[72][73] On October 11, 2009, he was named Big Ten Conference special teams player of the week for averaging 53.8 yards on five punts at Iowa.[74] He was a 2009 Allstate Good Works Team honoree for his outstanding civic contributions to the local community and a 2009 Lowe's Senior Class Award Finalist for classroom, community, character and competition excellence.[75] At the midpoint in the Wolverines' Big Ten schedule, Mesko ranked fifth in the nation and first in the Big Ten in punting average.[76] In November, Mesko was named a one of 10 semifinalists for the Ray Guy Award and one of 12 finalists for the Wuerffel Trophy.[77][78] In eight conference games Mesko averaged 45.2 yards/punt, which was the first time a Michigan punter led the Big Ten in Conference game punting average since Paul Staroba in 1970.[79] Although the team played twelve games, Mesko only accumulated stats in eleven since the team did not punt a single time in its October 17, 63–6 victory against the Delaware State Hornets.[80] He was selected by both the coaches and the media to the first-team All-Big Ten Conference team.[1]

Mesko is Michigan's career leader in punts and punting yardage and is second only to Monte Robbins in punting average.[81] Mesko ranks ninth all-time in career punts and seventh in punting yardage in Big Ten Conference history.[82]

[edit] Personal

In the mid-1990s, his parents, Michael and Elisabeth Mesko, were highly educated engineers in Romania. The family supplemented its income selling homemade clothes in the market. In 1997, when Zoltan was 11, his family moved from his native Romania after Michael Mesko won a United States Permanent Resident Card (green card) in the Diversity Immigrant Visa lottery for the single child family to move to the United States.[84] The Meskos now have jobs that pay well.[4] The family spent the first year and half in New York City before moving to Ohio for better jobs.[8] Zoltan speaks Romanian, Hungarian, German and English and is conversant in Spanish. He learned to speak English by watching television.[20] He was schooled at a German school in Timişoara, which was then Romania's second-largest city. His parents taught him Hungarian and he spoke Romanian with his friends.[85]
