Derek Meadows prides himself on being able to do a little bit of everything at receiver. “Coaches love my speed, my ability to get open fast when I’m running deep routes and my catching abilities,” Meadows told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Meadows also credits his football success to his ability to star as one of the nation's best track athletes. Meadows was the 2023 Gatorade Nevada boys track and field athlete of the year, as he won the Class 5A state title in the 300-meter hurdles (36.73) and ran a leg in the Bishop Gorman's winning 4×400 relay team. "It’s gotten me faster, which was my goal for football to get out of my cuts faster and break down better,” Meadows said. “Everything there has helped me with getting open and separation from defensive backs. (Track) has helped me a lot.”
