Where Mizzou commits, flip targets rank in updated Rivals300 for 2026 class
With the Early Signing Period less than a month away, Missouri saw fluctuation with its Class of 2026 commits in the Rivals300.
The ranking received an update Monday, and only two current Tigers pledge cracked the list. Rivals Industry four-star linebacker JJ Bush (previously No. 197) and running back TJ Hodges (previously No. 296) both dropped out of the ranking.
Here’s where current Missouri commits and targets rank:
Micah Nickerson, EDGE, No. 93
With Auburn, Miami, Mississippi State and Ole Miss still showing interest in Micah Nickerson‘s recruitment, the four-star Magnolia (Miss.) South Pike edge will expectedly take his ultimate decision to early December. While cracking the top 200 in his Rivals300 debut, Nickerson jumped 60 spots Monday.
Johnnie Jones Jr., OT, No. 198
While announcing his commitment during an unofficial visit after the loss to Alabama in October, Johnnie Jones Jr. fell 89 spots in the update. The four-star Venice (Fla.) offensive tackle checked in at No. 198.
Rocco Marriott, QB, No. 232
While officially visiting Missouri for the Texas A&M game the weekend of Nov. 8, Rocco Marriott picked up an offer from the Tigers. Marriott already ranked two spots ahead of longtime Tigers quarterback commit Gavin Sidwar, and on Monday, Marriott made a huge move.
The Missouri legacy and James Madison commit debuted on the Rivals300 at No. 232. The Platte City (Mo.) Platte County quarterback also jumped 20 spots in his position ranking to No. 16 while receiving his fourth star.
Other Rivals300 recruits from Missouri
Miami offensive tackle pledge and Missouri legacy Jackson Cantwell held onto the top-ranked spot. St. Louis (Mo.) De Smet defensive lineman Titan Davis (Michigan) followed at No. 127. Blue Springs (Mo.) edge Ronelle Johnson (Indiana) and Kirkwood (Mo.) safety Jacob Eberhart (Illinois) both shuffled down to No. 179 and No. 271, respectively.
