O’Fallon High kicker Tucker McCann has committed to the University of Missouri and its 2016 football recruiting class, his coach Brandon Joggerst confirmed Monday.
McCann set an Illinois record last fall when he booted a 60-yard field goal, breaking the previous mark of 59 yards that had stood since 1996.
On his Twitter feed Monday, McCann wrote: “Blessed to announce my commitment to the University of Mizzou. Can’t wait to be a Tiger!”
Ranked second by the Kohl’s Kicking National Rating System, McCann is the second Southwestern Conference kicker to draw national interest in as many recruiting seasons.
