COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri has ramped up its high school recruiting efforts in recent weeks, securing the commitments of three in-state products in the month of January. 

This brings the 2026 incoming freshman class total to 22 players. 

Gavin Sidwar, QB, 3-star
Maxwell Warner, RB, 3-star
Preston Hatfield, RB
Jabari Brady, WR, 3-star
Devyon Hill-Lomax, WR, 3-star
Karsten Fiene, WR
Isaac Jensen, TE, 3-star
Johnnie Jones, OT, 4-star 
Brysen Wessell, OT, 3-Star
Braylon Ellison, IOL, 3-star
Brandon Anderson, IOL, 3-star
Khalief Canty Jr., IOL, 3-star
Tajh Overton, DL, 4-star
Jocques Felix, DL, 3-star
JJ Bush, LB, 4-star
Keenan Harris, LB, 3-star
Ahmod Billins, CB, 3-star
Jaxson Gates, CB, 3-star
Trashundon Neal, CB, 3-star
Jayden McGregory, S, 4-star
Brody Jones, S, 3-star
Carter Stewart, S, 3-star

The class ranks No. 31 in the nation and No. 13 in the Southeastern Conference, per 247sports' ranking. The Tigers are likely done, but they still have ties to some of the few remaining recruits left in the 2026 class, which could be used to make late additions to the team. 

Here's the remaining available defensive recruits offered by Missouri. 

Missouri offered the 6-foot-6, 250-pound edge rusher in February of 2025. The Chicago native then committed to Vanderbilt before decommitting in in October. Quinn has since picked up offers from five G6 programs. Missouri currently has no edge rushers committed in its 2026 freshman class, although it is bringing in four transfers at the position. Quinn could be a viable late addition to the class. 

Harris is 6-foot-6, 220 pounds and was offered by Missouri in May of 2025. He'll likely be headed elsewhere though, as Sacramento State is listed as his favorite and he took an unofficial visit to Florida State in November, per 247sports. 

Berymon is ranked a four-star recruit and is one of the best available prospects in the 2026 class. Despite holding a Missouri offer, Berymon has a crystal ball prediction to Nebraska. The chances of him joining Tajh Overton in Columbia are slim-to-none. 

McNish is a three-star defensive lineman from Apopka, Florida, a region Missouri has frequented in the transfer portal and high school recruiting. Uniquely, he played both sides of the ball, but not as an offensive lineman — he played quarterback and running back. The 6-foot-3, 265-pound lineman decommitted from UCF in October, and Missouri is the second-most recent team to offer him. 

Missouri offered the three-star linebacker in February of 2025 —  the last FBS offer McClure has received. The Tennessee since has four FCS offers. Missouri's linebacker room is loaded, and it seems McClure is headed for a lower level, but a late commitment shouldn't be entirely ruled out. 

Missouri offered the three-star Kansas native in May of 2024, and was the last Power Four team to offer him. Fountain's only offer since that was Arkansas State in May of 2025. 

Sibley is an unranked recruit on 247sports who was offered by Missouri in February of 2025. The Tigers are in a three-way tie for the most recent team to offer Sibley, tying with Maryland and Baylor. 

Avery is the lone uncommitted cornerback Missouri has offered. The unranked, 6-foot-3, 185-pound cornerback has no other listed offers aside from Missouri, per 247sports. The Tigers offered him in May of 2025. 

Missouri already has three safeties committed in its 2026 class, along with a plethora of incoming transfers. It does not seem to be in the running for Gaines, as he decommitted from Tulsa in November of 2025, took visits to Oklahoma State, Kansas State and Baylor — not Missouri. 

Clark is a unranked safety and high school teammates with unranked 2026 cornerback Jaydon Avery, who the Tigers also offered. Like Avery, Missouri is Clark's only offer. Both Clark and Avery play basketball for Pace Academy. 

Missouri offered Faust a preferred walk-on spot Jan. 20 to become his first Power Four offer. The St. Louis native had high praise for the program and seems interested in joining. This is the one to monitor the most.
