Kaleb McCullough, who emerged as one of the top offensive linemen in the state last year in helping the Humboldt High football team win their district title and reach the state semifinals for the second straight year, signed a national letter of intent last week to attend Northwest Missouri State University.
The 6-foot-2, 260-pound senior earned all-state honors in Class 3A last year. He is projected to play in the offensive line for the Bearcats.
“It feels great to make my decision and sign with Northwest Missouri State. I’m excited to get down there on campus,” McCullough said.
“The program, it’s a huge family aspect. Everyone is so close. You can always tell when you are down there that everybody knows everybody. It’s a pretty cool environment,” McCullough said.
“They have a great program. They have made the playoffs 18 years in a row. I’m excited to be a part of that,” McCullough said.
“Their agriculture program is pretty big and so that excites me a lot because that’s the direction I want to go. I want to major in agriculture business,” McCullough said. “I first heard about them before my junior year and they have been on top of my list of schools ever since.”
