Missouri continues to add to its 2026 football recruiting class, as Omaha (Neb.) Millard South standout tight end Isaac Jensen announced his commitment to the Tigers on Monday.

He chose Eli Drinkwitz and Co. over Texas A&M, Florida State, Iowa State and more than a dozen other offers after his official visit over the weekend.

“MIZ! Let’s work!!” he told On3’s Hayes Fawcett.

As a junior, the 6-foot-6, 225-pounder posted 36 catches for 593 yards and 9 touchdowns in just nine games.

Jensen is the No. 752 overall prospect in the 2026 class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also ranks as the nation’s No. 41 tight end and No. 5 recruit in the state of Nebraska.

He is the fourth commitment for the Tigers in the past two months, joining four-star quarterback Gavin Sidwar, four-star wideout Jabari Brady, and four-star linebacker Keenan Harris.

Tigers building a talented unit on the offensive side of the ball

Missouri had a pair of early commits who backed off their pledges, but are putting together a small but talented class early on in 2026. The Tigers have signed back-to-back top-25 classes under Drinkwitz and could be trending that way again.

Especially with their class centerpiece in Sidwar committed.

“I get to play and compete in the SEC,” Sidwar told On3’s Steve Wiltfong when he announced his decision. “I feel like they have a great culture and are dedicated to trying win.  I think they can maximize my potential on and off the field. I like the college town feel and it felt like home.”

As a junior, Sidwar completed nearly 70 percent of his passes for 2,747 yards and 31 touchdowns to just six interceptions.

Brady, meanwhile, was one of the nation’s most productive wide receivers as a sophomore. Across 14 games, he hauled in 70 receptions for 1,392 yards and 10 scores. He was hit by the injury bug in 2024, but still managed 21 receptions and seven touchdowns in seven games.
