Mizzou wrapped up National Signing Day with a promising recruiting class ranked No. 19 in the country by 247 Sports. The Tigers secured commitments from 17 players, including 10 four-star recruits and seven three-stars. Notable additions include quarterback Matt Zollers and offensive lineman Jack Lange. Head coach Eli Drinkwitz highlighted Zollers’ leadership and decision-making skills, while also mentioning the challenges of the recruiting process in a changing landscape due to NIL and revenue sharing.
Drinkwitz expressed excitement about the complementary nature of the recruits, particularly running backs Marquise Davis and Brendan Haygood, who he sees as a dynamic duo. The coach also discussed the impact of national exposure in recruiting players from different states and the importance of recruiting players who can contribute at a high level.
Drinkwitz emphasized the need for adaptability and the ability to compete for positions, noting that highly rated players like Zollers and receiver Shaun Terry attract other top talent to join the program. With several early enrollees expected to make an immediate impact, Drinkwitz is optimistic about the future of Mizzou football. Overall, the Tigers’ recruiting class reflects a mix of talent and potential that could shape the team’s success in the coming seasons.
