Emerging as an underrated pass-catcher prospect for Missouri this summer, Jackson Coleman scheduled his return to campus for this fall.

The Class of 2027 wide receiver, who added an offer from the Tigers during Elite Camp on June 12, will visit for Homecoming on Sept. 27 against Massachusetts. Tight ends coach Derham Cato visited the Littleton (Colo.) Valor Christian prospect in person this past spring.

Another Kentucky defensive back target for Missouri, Garyon Hobbs picked up an offer from the Tigers on Monday. The Class of 2027 three-star safety spoke with assistant director of defensive player personnel Christian Heinz about the direction of the program.

“I have watched Missouri climb the ranks in the SEC,” said Hobbs, a junior at Louisville (Ky.) Atherton. “I noticed they have been able to attract some top recruits.”

Heinz loved the 5-foot-11.5, 200-pound defensive back’s versatility, being a “Swiss Army knife” in a 4-2-5 defense. Hobbs will visit Clemson on Saturday.

Austin Coles, WR

Although unoffered by Missouri, Austin Coles visited the Tigers for Junior Day in mid-March. Seen more as a tight end, Coles hasn’t heard too much from the staff this summer, but he does have a connection to current Missouri commit Jabari Brady. The two played for the same 7-on-7 football team, South Florida Express.

“We were cool,” said Coles, a Class of 2027 Barrington (Ill.) three-star. “He’s gonna be good for the Mizzou offense.”

Coles will visit Kentucky on Sept. 6 and Florida on Oct. 4.

Brayden Harris, OT

Class of 2027 Jackson (Mo.) offensive tackle Brayden Harris will visit Missouri on Sept. 6 for the Border War game, he told MizzouToday. Harris, the teammate of Iowa State commit fellow unoffered target Brysen Wessell, is a lineman at the same school that produced Tigers center Connor Tollison.
