Zionsville senior Tyson McCann has developed into a key tight end, giving the Eagles another versatile option in a high-scoring offense. After switching positions early in high school, he’s built confidence, improved his understanding of the offense and become a reliable partner to standout tight end Theo Schott. McCann is focused on making the most of his final season as Zionsville pursues a sectional title.

By the Numbers
  • McCann has 23 catches for 300 yards and 3 touchdowns this season.
  • He caught 4 passes for 33 yards and a touchdown in the season opener, then had 6 catches for 78 yards and a touchdown two weeks later.
  • Zionsville has scored the most points per game in the state since 2020.
  • The Eagles lost 21-7 to Brownsburg in the teams’ regular-season matchup.
Yes, But

Zionsville faces a tough test against top-ranked, two-time defending state champion Brownsburg. The Eagles lost the first meeting, but McCann says the team took lessons from that game and believes it can compete.

State of Play
  • McCann’s growth and versatility have added options to Zionsville’s offense.
  • His partnership with Schott is built on complementary skills, practice competition and mutual support.
  • McCann hasn’t decided whether he’ll play football in college; for now, he’s focused on his senior season.

Bottom Line

McCann’s position switch has paid off: he’s become a productive, adaptable piece of an offense that will need every advantage against the state’s toughest competition.
