Missouri Kicker Harrison Mevis Declares for NFL Draft
USA TODAY Sports

Missouri kicker Harrison Mevis announced on Saturday that he's declaring for the 2024 NFL Draft.

Mizzou's all-time leading scorer is the fifth Tiger to declare, as he joins defensive backs Jaylon Carlies and Ennis Rakestraw Jr., defensive lineman Darius Robinson and running back Cody Schrader.

The two-time SEC Special Teams Player of the Week converted a conference-best 24 field goal attempts this season. Additionally, the senior's 115 points were the second-most in the SEC. Mevis also converted 43-of-44 PAT's in 2023 and 145-of-146 for his Mizzou career.

The four-year starter holds the program record in 50-plus-yard field goals (86), but none were more famous than his 61-yarder against Florida as time expired to lift Mizzou to a 30-27 victory. That's the longest make by any kicker in SEC history.

"First and foremost, I would like to thank God for giving me the ability to play the sport that I love," Mevis writes. "My years at Mizzou have been filled with so many incredible moments that I will cherish forever. I want to thank Coach Drinkwitz for believing in me. I am blessed to have played for this great university for the last 4 years. I also want to thank all the coaches and strength staff who have been a part of my journey.

To the brotherhood, I am also thankful for each and every one of you that I've gotten to play with and grow with, on and off the field. To Mizzou Nation, thank you for the constant and unwavering support throughout my entire time here. Truly happy I've gotten to be a part of something this special.

But with that being said, I am excited to see what the future holds for me.  I am proud to announce that I will be declaring for the 2024 NFL Draft!"

Harrison Mevis, #92
