2025 4-star DL Julian Marks commits to Missouri

Overland Park (Kansas) St. Thomas Aquinas 2025 four-star defensive lineman Julian Marks has announced his commitment to the Missouri Tigers.

The 6-foot-7, 255-pound Marks committed to the Tigers after their walk-off win over Kansas State on Saturday.

“Missouri is only two-and-a-half hours from home, so it is pretty close to home,” Marks told On3 back in March. “I have visited them about three to four times already. It is the place I have visited the most. Every time I go back, it feels more and more like home. They treat me like family and that is nice. Coach (Kevin) Peoples and coach (Al) Davis are the coaches I have been talking to and spending time with on the visits. The coaches there are good guys and they make it feel like family.

Marks is the nation’s No. 218 overall prospect and No. 25 defensive lineman in the 2025 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 4 player in Kansas.

On3 rates Marks higher than other major media recruiting services. He is the No. 170 prospect and No. 16 defensive lineman in the 2025 On300.

Marks does not currently have a publicly listed On3 NIL Valuation. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
