(AP) -- The University of Missouri football program has added a talented athlete to its 2012 recruiting class, as Brandon Holifield of Tallahassee, Fla., has signed a National Letter of Intent to attend Mizzou, as announced today by Head Coach Gary Pinkel.
Holifield is a 6-foot-5 inch, 215-pound tight end from Godby High School, where he has been a standout in both track and basketball.
He’s a relative newcomer to the football scene, as he played only during his senior year at Godby, and he was limited in his amount of playing time as a senior due to a groin injury.
He is currently a starting power forward on Godby’s basketball team, which has been ranked #1 in the state for much of the season, and he previously has placed 3rd in the state in the high jump, where he has a personal best mark of 6-foot-11 inches.
