Missouri football coach Eli Drinkwitz pulled off a signing day surprise by securing a commitment from highly-rated defensive end Javion Hilson. Hilson, a four-star recruit, had initially committed to Florida State but reopened his recruitment after a disappointing season for the Seminoles. Drinkwitz and his staff capitalized on this opportunity to bring Hilson to Mizzou.
Hilson, a standout from Cocoa, Florida, brings a rare combination of strength and athleticism to the Tigers’ defense. Standing at 6’3” and weighing 225 lbs, Hilson has impressed with his ability to overpower opponents and disrupt plays consistently. While he may need to work on his initial burst, his physical attributes and technique suggest a bright future at Missouri.
With offers from various top programs, Hilson ultimately chose Mizzou for his collegiate career, adding depth and talent to the team. His commitment comes as part of the #ZouLive25 class, which Drinkwitz has been diligently building to ensure success in the SEC. As a significant addition to the roster, Hilson’s potential as a future star player has fans excited for what he can contribute to the team.
The signing of Javion Hilson adds another dynamic playmaker to Mizzou’s defense, complementing an already impressive group of recruits. With his unique skill set and determination, Hilson has the potential to make a significant impact on the field for the Tigers in the seasons to come.
