Under Armour Alumnus Mevis Leads Green Bay Blizzard to Top Playoff Seed

Green Bay Blizzard kicker Andrew Mevis delivered a commanding performance on Saturday, helping secure a 65-21 road victory over the Iowa Barnstormers. The win clinched the No. 1 seed in the Indoor Football League (IFL) Eastern Conference for the Blizzard, who improve to 13-2 on the season.

Mevis was instrumental in the offensive output, capitalizing on the IFL’s unique “deuce” rule. This regulation grants two points if a kickoff sails through the uprights. Mevis successfully converted three deuces, adding to his eight point-after-touchdowns (PATs) and an 18-yard field goal. This scoring efficiency effectively turned several touchdowns into nine-point possessions.

Through 15 games, Mevis has established himself as the IFL’s premier scoring threat. He currently leads the league with 153 total points, having connected on 92 PATs and 11 field goals. His performance provides stability for the top-seeded Blizzard as they approach the postseason.

Mevis’s path to the professional ranks includes a notable connection to Under Armour, Inc.. Before his professional career, Mevis was a standout at Warsaw Community High School, where he won the Under Armour Skills Kicking Challenge. That victory earned him a roster spot in the 2017 Under Armour All-American Game, where he successfully hit a 46-yard field goal.

Following his high school success, Mevis played at Fordham University, setting single-season school records for punts (81) and punting yards (3,344) during his sophomore year. He later transferred to Iowa State in 2021, where he tied the school record for field goals in a season (20) and earned Third Team All-American honors. During his tenure with the Cyclones, he became the first player since 2001 to handle all four kicking duties: field goals, PATs, punts, and kickoffs.

What to watch

• The Green Bay Blizzard’s postseason schedule following their No. 1 seed clinch.
• Mevis’s continued usage of the “deuce” rule in playoff scenarios.
