FOOTBALL RECRUITING
Mizzou isn't playing at home this weekend, but that doesn't mean the Tigers don't have a recruiting opportunity. With Saturday's game in St. Louis, Mizzou is allowed to provide a limited number of game tickets to prospects. However, because the game is more than 30 miles from campus, those prospects can't interact with coaches and have a traditional "unofficial visit." They can attend the game and that's about it. Here are the priority players we're expecting to be there.
Jude James
Ryan Wingo
Corey Simms
Jack Lange
Jamarion Parker
Dierre Hill Jr
DJ Miller
Carson Boyd
Dillon Duff
Landon Pace
Jason Dowell
Jason King
CJ Bass
Keenan Harris
Obviously that's a St. Louis-centric list, which makes sense for this game. The kids can get there easily and with a limited number of tickets, Mizzou is prioritizing the top targets from the area. It's also a list heavy on 2025 prospects outside of Wingo and James.
Lange is a recent Mizzou offer and he also picked up a Kansas State offer in the last couple of weeks.
Wingo is obviously the big name. Missouri is in this race and will be till the end. As of now, the end is still scheduled for December 20, though there has been some recent thought that it could happen sooner. All along we've said if it got moved up, it's good for Missouri. We don't feel that way as much right now. At this point, Texas is in the lead. That comes from a variety of sources, but they're all consistent. That doesn't mean Missouri is out of the race or won't eventually win it. The Tigers are going to put their best foot forward. For the last few months it's been Wingo and Williams Nwaneri head and shoulders above the rest of the 2024 class. We told you if Nwaneri didn't choose Mizzou the reason wouldn't be NIL related. That's the case with Wingo too. Missouri has a package that is more than sufficient. A few more weeks like last week offensively would certainly help the Tigers' cause as well.
- Missouri is now on the board in the 2025 class and in a big way by landing Rivals250 defensive end Julian Marks, which came not long after the Tigers big win over Kansas State on Saturday night.

- In talking with Marks, he mentioned how he'll be in the ear of other top 2025 talent from Sunflower State, which include the following...
Andrew Babalola, OT, Blue Valley Northwest - Along with Marks, the four-star prospect was also in attendance for Missouri's win over K-State last Saturday. It was his first gameday visit to Mizzou, who said the staff is making him feel like a priority early on. CLICK HERE to read our update with Babalola.
Dasaahn Brame, TE, Derby - The Rivals250 prospect told PowerMizzou.com that he's been talking with Missouri tight ends coach Erik Link frequently. As expected, Brame has plenty of options which include Michigan, Oklahoma, Penn State, Wisconsin, Nebraska, K-State, and others.
Jayden Woods, DE, Mill Valley - The four-star was recently at Missouri for their win over Middle Tennessee, so the interest in the Tigers is there. Woods has a multitude of offers from notable powers Alabama, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, USC, Oregon, and others.
Brock Heath, OL, Blue Valley Northwest - Heath originally picked up a Missouri offer back in April. Things have been pretty quiet on the recruiting front for the 6-foot-5, 230-pound prospect, who also holds offers from Baylor, Tulsa, and Duke.
