Missouri gets pledge from Jay Maclin, cousin of former MU and Chiefs star Jeremy Maclin

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.
