Illinois College Athletics

A two-sport star in baseball and football, Adam Mefford still has his name scattered throughout the Illinois College baseball record book more than 20 years since he last suited up for the Blueboys. The team's co-MVP in 1995, Mefford hit better than .400 that season and is among the career Top 10 at IC in batting average, runs batted in, runs scored, total hits, total bases and doubles. He was a three-time All-MWC selection in baseball, as well as an All-Region selection once during his career. On the gridiron, he was the football team's Defensive Player of the Year in 1996 and won the 1996 Burger King Scholar-Athlete/Endowed Scholarship. In March of 2017, Mefford was named Jacksonville Chief of Police.
