Rising star Tyler Macon hopes to start at QB for Mizzou in 2021

Tyler Macon went to Nashville last week with a clear purpose. The East St. Louis quarterback and 2021 Missouri commitment wanted to prove he belonged at the prestigious Elite 11 quarterback camp and could hold his own against his peers from around the country.

He didn’t leave any doubts. Of the 20 quarterbacks invited to the event, Macon finished the three-day camp among the field’s top 11 and ranked fifth overall in the week’s final pro day session.

“I came in ranked 19th out of 20, so I had a lot to prove to people,” he said in a phone interview.
