Mizzou football earns commitment of 2027 three-star offensive linemen Lual Aleu.
COLUMBIA — Eli Drinkwitz and the Missouri Tigers are now picking up steam on their 2027 recruiting trail, earning the commitment of offensive linemen Lual Aleu, per Hayes Fawcett.
Per Rivals' Industry Ranking, Aleu is the No. 614 player in the nation, No. 26 player in the state of Ohio and the No. 47 interior offensive lineman in the nation. Aleu stands at 6-foot-4, 300 pounds and attends Winton Woods High School in Cincinnati, Ohio.
He commits to the Tigers just one day after 2027 safety Jabarri Lofton, who committed as a three-star safety out of East St. Louis High School on Sunday. Aleu is the third player in the Tigers' 2027 class, joining three-stars in Lofton and quarterback Braylen Warren.
Missouri offered Aleu Jan. 27, 2025, and he has an official visit scheduled to Columbia for June 5, 2026.
Aleu chose Missouri over schools like Louisville, Kentucky, Purdue and Virginia Tech, each of which have the proximity advantage over Missouri. He joins a room full of veteran and young talent on the offensive line in which OL coach Brandon Jones has developed tremendously in recent seasons.
Here's who he joins on the interior offensive line.
