Mitch Meeuwsen left OSU in 2004 as arguably the school’s top safety in the history of the program. The 2004 Associated Press Third Team and ESPN.com First Team All-American ended his career as the program’s career leader for interceptions with 20. He was a semi-finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award as a senior, given annually to the nation’s premier defensive back. Meeuwsen, from Forest Grove, started 40 consecutive games and played in three bowl games. He was invited to the Las Vegas All-American Classic following his senior year. Several organizations named him to their Freshman All-American teams in 2001. He made 217 career tackles.
