MUS tight end Gavin McKay commits to Missouri football

Gavin McKay, a 6-foot-4, 205-pound tight end from Memphis University School, has committed to Missouri. His other offers include Indiana, Kansas and Memphis.

McKay, a three-star prospect, is the No. 33 player in Tennessee for the Class of 2021, according to the 247Sports Composite.

"First off I'd like to thank God, without him I wouldn't be in the position I'm in today," McKay wrote on Twitter. "Thanks to all my family, friends, coaches and teachers that have helped me during this journey, with a big thanks to Coach (Eliah) Drinkwitz and (tight end) Coach (Casey) Woods for giving me this opportunity to play in the most prestigious conference in college football. With that said I'd like to announce that I'm committing to the University of Missouri."

McKay led the Owls in catches (27), receiving yards (399) and yards per catch (14.8) as a junior last season.

MUS finished 10-2 with both losses coming to Montgomery Bell Academy — one early  on Sept. 20 and one in the DII-AAA state semifinals.
