Tyler Macon, former 4-star recruit at QB for Missouri, announces transfer destination

Tyler Macon entered the transfer portal after 2 seasons on the Missouri roster. The East St. Louis, Ill. quarterback signed with the Tigers out of the 2021 class as a 4-star recruit but saw little playing time during his stint in Columbia.

Macon will now look to resume his collegiate career in the FCS ranks. He announced on his Twitter account on Wednesday that he has committed to play at Alcorn State:

They wrote me off, but I ain’t write back. #Bravenation let’s go ??
