Mevis, who leaves Missouri as the school's all-time leading scorer with 405 points, scored a career-high 117 points in 2023 and connected on 24-of-30 (80%) field goal attempts.
In Week 2 of last season, he nailed a Southeastern Conference record 61-yard field goal to defeat Kansas State at the end of regulation. He also made a 30-yard field goal versus Florida in Week 12.
The "Thiccer Kicker" measured in at 5-foot-11 and 241 pounds, but his kicking information isn't readily available.
Both players will have another chance to show off their physical abilities on March 22 when Missouri hosts its Pro Day.
