SPRINGFIELD, MO - Parkview senior offensive lineman Mykalen Huntoon signed his national letter of intent to play football at Benedictine College next season. The 6-2, 300 pound lineman was a 2nd team All-Ozark Conference selection and a 2nd team All-SWMFCA class 5 selection as a senior and a 3 year letterman for the Vikings.
Huntoon received an athletic and academic scholarship at the NAIA school, which competes in the Heart of America Conference. Huntoon, who carries a 3.5 gpa in honors classes at Parkview, says he chose Benedictine for not only its success on the field, but also in the classroom.
"Benedictine offered the best package, and they recruited me hardcore," said Huntoon.
Huntoon chose the Ravens over interest from Southwest Baptist, Northwest Missouri State, and Missouri Valley.
Huntoon will hold a signing ceremony at the Parkview High School library February 15th at 3:30 pm.
