As a redshirt freshman, McCormick served as a backup kicker and punter until the last two games, where an injury to the starting kicker allowed him to play. He scored 3 extra points and 4 field goals in those games, impressing the coaching staff. He also participated in a fake field goal attempt and two fake punts, gaining 50 rushing yards and scoring a touchdown.

With the graduation of the starting kicker and punter that offseason, McCormick found himself in the lead position for both starting jobs. After the end of spring ball and before summer training camp, McCormick suffered a major knee cap dislocation while finishing a 5K race (which he ''did'' finish with a time of 29:17), tearing his ACL and MCL in the process. He applied and was granted a medical redshirt and spent the year rehabbing and focusing on his studies. While he came back nearly full strength and re-won the starting jobs by the next spring, McCormick lost the speed and agility he once used during fake kick attempts.

The 2017 season for Rutgers was a very poor offensive showing, and as such McCormick put up paltry numbers despite being very consistent.

His punting was also very strong (and was used very often), recording an average of 43.5 yards per punt.

Micycle McCormick (born August 27, 1996) is an American football Kicker/Punter for the Colorado Yeti of the National Simulation Football League (NSFL). He played college football for the Rutgers Scarlet Knights before entering the professional ranks in 2021. In 2022 (S7), Micycle became the first player in the history of the NSFL to record a full season without missing an extra point or field goal attempt.

Early years

Micycle McCormick was born in Piscataway, New Jersey on August 27, 1996. At an early age, McCormick found himself drawn to both sports and technology. His father, Mitch, was a computer engineer, and as such there was a plentiful amount of gadgets and toys to experiment with at the McCormick household. Sports, on the other hand, was a natural talent that McCormick discovered on his own, as his family did not have a strong athletic heritage. By the age of 6, McCormick was competing in soccer, swimming, and martial arts, and excelling at each.

It was not until his sophomore year at Piscataway High School did McCormick don a football uniform as an emergency kicker. In his first game, McCormick was tasked with hitting a 45-yard game-winning field goal to defeat Sayreville High School and advance to the state title game, and the rush of adrenaline after making it left him hooked. McCormick was listed as an All-Division and All-State team member in his junior and senior years.

McCormick also spent the summer prior to his senior year participating in U-19 camp for the Indonesian national soccer team as an attacking midfielder, but wasn't invited to join the final 23 at the Asian Football Confederation U-19 Championships.

College career

McCormick attended Rutgers University on full academic scholarship after failing to garner any scholarship offers from major schools. Despite this, McCormick earned a spot as a walk-on kicker to the team, and redshirted his first year.

As a redshirt freshman, McCormick served as a backup kicker and punter until the last two games, where an injury to the starting kicker allowed him to play. He scored 3 extra points and 4 field goals in those games, impressing the coaching staff. He also participated in a fake field goal attempt and two fake punts, gaining 50 rushing yards and scoring a touchdown.

With the graduation of the starting kicker and punter that offseason, McCormick found himself in the lead position for both starting jobs. After the end of spring ball and before summer training camp, McCormick suffered a major kneecap dislocation while finishing a 5K race (which he did finish with a time of 29:17), tearing his ACL and MCL in the process. He applied and was granted a medical redshirt and spent the year rehabbing and focusing on his studies. While he came back nearly full strength and re-won the starting jobs by the next spring, McCormick lost the speed and agility he once used during fake kick attempts.

The 2017 season for Rutgers was a very poor offensive showing, and as such McCormick put up paltry numbers despite being very consistent. He ended the season with 25 made extra points and 13 made field goals, only missing twice all season. His punting was also very strong (and was used very often), recording an average of 43.5 yards per punt.

McCormick entered his third year of eligibility safely with both starting jobs, and his performance on the field solidified that hold. He did not miss a single extra point or field goal all season, earning him all-Big Ten honors and the Special Teams MVP award for the team. With such a strong season, McCormick debated turning pro before his eligibility was up. He had received inquiries from several NSFL scouts about possibly being selected to the fledgling DSFL, but most experts and scouts agreed he would remain undrafted. McCormick ultimately decided to continue his Master's degree in Astrophysics at Rutgers while finishing his fourth year of eligibility.

The 2019 Rutgers football season proved to be a surprisingly successful campaign for the Scarlet Knights, with them finishing with an impressive 6 wins. McCormick rode this revitalized team to career highs in extra points and field goals, and finished as a finalist for the Lou Groza Award.

College career statistics

McCormick left college with a career total of 106 extra points, 70 field goals, and 10,122 punting yards, as well as a 100% Extra Point PCT and 93% Field Goal PCT.

DSFL career

McCormick was picked with the 13th overall pick in the 2020 (S5) DSFL Draft by the Kansas City Coyotes. His DSFL career was one full of work and lost time, as McCormick had to balance moving to Kansas City, possibly also moving to Chicago with the team's debated relocation, and finishing his Master's thesis at Rutgers remotely. Without being able to commit his full time to training, McCormick struggled to a 78.9% field goal rate (second lowest in the league), hitting only 3 of 7 of his kicks between 40 and 50 yards. McCormick also did not take part in the player revolt against general manager Alexandra Jones over the team's possible move to Chicago.

NSFL career

Prior to the NSFL Draft

Due to his weak year in the DSFL, most NSFL pundits and scouts predicted McCormick to fall deep into the draft as by far the second kicker off the board, behind Tijuana's K/P Forfeit. McCormick received interviews from the Colorado Yeti, Orange County Otters, Las Vegas Legion, Yellowknife Wraiths, and Baltimore Hawks. Despite his poor statistical showing in the DSFL, McCormick did outperform Forfeit during the 2021 (S6) Scouting Combine.
