Although small in stature at 5 feet 9 inches tall and 150 pounds, Meyer emerged as a college football star.
In 1935, against Notre Dame before a capacity crowd of 78,114 in Yankee Stadium, Meyer's 41-yard first quarter touchdown pass and stellar performance in a 6–6 tie first brought him into the national limelight.
He was named an All-American and then runner-up to the University of Chicago's Jay Berwanger in the first-ever Heisman Trophy vote that year.
In 1936, Monk had another big day in Yankee Stadium, outdueling famed Columbia passer and future Chicago Bears Hall of Fame quarterback Sid Luckman as the Black Knights prevailed, 27–16, over the Lions.
Meyer graduated from West Point in 1937 and the Command and General Staff School in 1944 and led troops in the Pacific Theater under the overall command of GEN Douglas MacArthur during World War II and again in Korea, and was wounded twice.
In addition he served in Vietnam and was a Pearl Harbor survivor.
Meyer graduated from the Armed Forces Staff College in 1952 and the Army War College in 1956.
Meyer received the Sports Illustrated Silver Anniversary All-American Award in 1961.
After 30 years of military service, he retired on July 31, 1967 as a brigadier general.
He was inducted into the Lehigh Valley chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame in 1983.
