Multiple staffers have made Raderrion Daniels feel wanted at Missouri.

The Class of 2026 cornerback welcomed wide receivers coach Jacob Peeler to Lake Cormorant (Miss.) High on Thursday ahead of his Junior Day visit to Columbia this past Saturday.

Peeler, who is not Daniels' primary recruiter, is a product of Mississippi, and while recruiting the state, he checked in with three-star defensive back and his teammate Tylen Matthews to strengthen the Tigers' interest in the duo.

"We both are very high on Mizzou," Daniels said. "I feel like they really know how to recruit the area. ... I can tell that they are highly interested in both of us."

More from Daniels' second visit to Missouri:

Hey Gabe here’s a question for you, if Kallen Moore becomes Dallas new HC would he bring his brother in to become their OC ?

Kenyon Alston missed Missouri's Junior Day on Saturday due to a personal reason, so Tigers wide receivers coach Jacob Peeler made an in-person visit to see him Tuesday.

Missouri remained in the mix for Rivals250 offensive lineman Maxwell Riley for a while after hosting him this past year, but the four-star announced Clemson and Ohio State as his top two programs Tuesday.

@Greg Smith on Riley in December: Ohio offensive tackle Maxwell Riley is a good prospect with Clemson, Ohio State and Missouri recruiting him hard. But is he the 55th-best player in the nation? I’m not so sure about that. Riley is a bit of a tweener position-wise on the line though I’d be intrigued by him at center. There are other tackles in the region that offer more upside in my opinion.

Mizzou linebacker Triston Newson will reportedly return in 2025.


Here's a quick story.

Ridge Janes has his Tigers' connections cornered.

While early in his recruitment, Janes asked his St. Louis (Mo.) De Smet teammate Jason King, a Class of 2025 signee, about why he chose Missouri. Yet there's an even more direct connection to the program within his own bloodline.

The son of former Tigers fullback Ron "Rhino" Janes, Ridge grew up on Missouri football. His father blocked for soon-to-be Missouri Hall of Famer Brock Olivo, who is currently on staff for the Tigers.

Following in his father's footsteps, Ridge received an offer from Missouri on Saturday after his second unofficial visit to see the program. The Class of 2028 athlete got his first one-on-one conversation with tight ends coach Derham Cato, and the energy around the staffer got him excited for the next level.

"I got to know what his coaching style was when we went into his meeting room with about four other tight ends, and he told us the concepts of Mizzou," Ridge said. "It got me pumped up, hearing him talk about what they what the tight ends do there and how he uses them."
