It’s uncommon to see star players stay on a collegiate roster for a full four years. For the last four, Mizzou was fortunate to have a punter with a big leg in Corey Fatony.
Fatony’s last appearance for the Tigers occurred during Mizzou’s appearance in the Liberty Bowl. Now, McCann finds himself in a unique position not many collegiate football players find themselves in: Handling placekicking duties, kickoffs and punts.
McCann has had his ups and downs as the Tigers’ placekicker. This year’s additional responsibilities will be challenging, since the mechanics of both are not entirely the same.
