Missouri tight ends coach Derham Cato checked in at Chicago (Ill.) Whitney Young on Tuesday, where the Tigers handed out an offer to Class of 2026 three-star running back Maxwell Warner in December.
Warner still hasn't visited Missouri, but the running back is planning for his first unofficial with the program for May. He's currently also considering Boston College, Illinois, Minnesota and Purdue.
Cato inquired about the running back as well as Class of 2026 defensive linemen John Spellers Jr. and Markius Woods. Running backs coach Curtis Luper offered Warner right after Christmas as the scholarship felt like a late gift to his family.
"I didn't really know much about Missouri football, until the day I got the offer," Warner said after his offer in December. "(Luper) just wanted to see how I felt about playing running back in the SEC, and I said that I would be ecstatic about it. ... He said he thinks that I'm ready for that, too."
