Thirteen years ago, Jeremy Maclin committed to Missouri out of Kirkwood High School, and later became one of the football program’s most dynamic players, leading the Tigers to a No. 1 national ranking in 2007.
On Thursday, Maclin’s cousin followed in his footsteps. Mizzou coach Barry Odom landed Jay Maclin, a three-star wideout out of Kirkwood, the same high school that produced his cousin. The 5-foot-11 Maclin chose MU over Indiana, Kentucky and Arizona State among others.
Jay Maclin is the third recruit in Missouri’s 2020 class, which currently consists entirely of St. Louis-area prospects. He joins Chaminade quarterback Brady Cook and Francis Howell offensive lineman Drake Heismeyer.
