Where Class of 2027 Mizzou commits, targets rank in updated Rivals300
The national rankings received an update Monday. Top Missouri commits and targets in the 2027 class either shifted or remained idle after offseason evaluations. The Show-Me State now has five prospects ranked inside the Rivals300.
Here’s who the Tigers have on their recruiting board:
Mizzou commits
| Recruit | Position | High School | New Ranking | Previous Ranking |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jack Brown | TE | Cottleville (MO) Francis Howell Central | 167th | 119th |
| Chris Harris Jr. | WR | Lee’s Summit (MO) West | 199th | 258th |
The duo committed on the same day in March unplanned, while Brown was visiting the Tigers for spring practice. Harris has received new interest from Michigan coaches, but the four-star wideout hasn’t reported an offer from the Wolverines.
