Recruiting success is paving the way for Missouri to become a long-term SEC contender.

Missouri Tigers have become a force to be reckoned with in the SEC under head coach Eliah Drinkwitz, who led the team to their first 11-win season in a decade in 2023. The team’s success has attracted top recruits, including 4-star offensive lineman Lamont Rogers, who recently committed to the program. Rogers, a 6-foot-7 prospect, chose Missouri over other top schools like Texas and Oklahoma, giving the Tigers a significant boost for their 2025 recruiting class. The team has also secured commitments from top prospects like 5-star quarterback Matt Zollers and 4-star wide receiver Donovan Olugbode, helping them secure the 16th-best recruiting class in the country for 2025. This marks the first time since 2022 that Missouri has had a top-20 class. Coach Drinkwitz has quickly turned the program around, building a legitimate contender in the SEC and silencing critics who questioned his ability to lead the team to success. The Tigers are on the rise and are now a team to watch in the SEC.
