Mizzou adds another recruit for 2012 class

February 22, 2012 By Bill Pollock

The Missouri football program has added Brandon Holifield of Tallahassee, Fla., to the 2012 recruiting, 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 only played football during his senior year at Godby, and he was limited in his amount of playing time as a senior due to a groin injury.

Holifield handled kickoffs and punts for Godby, and he had a long punt of 60 yards, while he consistently put kickoffs in the endzone. 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.

Holifield chose Mizzou over Miami, Fla. and Rutgers, and also had interest from Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt, among others.
