Here are three uncommitted Mizzou targets in Rivals300 update
For the second time since the On3 | Rivals merger, no Missouri commit landed on the Rivals300.
Class of 2026 interior offensive lineman Khalief Canty Jr., quarterback Gavin Sidwar and linebacker Keenan Harris all ranked in the final addition of the Rivals250 before scouting decisions switched hands this past summer.
Harris, the lone in-state prospect committed to the Tigers, ranked behind other Rivals300 Missouri prospects Jackson Cantwell (Miami, No. 1), Titan Davis (Michigan, No. 125), Ronelle Johnson (Indiana, No. 137) and Jacob Eberhart (Illinois, No. 251).
So without a Tigers pledge in the top group, let’s take a look at three uncommitted recruits linked to Missouri.
Jonnie Jones, OT, No. 107
While dropping 10 spots Monday, Johnnie Jones, a 6-foot-7, 308-pound offensive tackle, decommitted from UCLA the day prior, following the dismissal of coach DeShaun Foster. The Tigers extended an official offer to the Venice (Fla.) four-star Aug. 1 while still in pursuit of an offensive tackle in the 2026 class.
Missouri has also circled three-star and former Georgia State commit Jared Doughty, who will visit Saturday and then for an official in early November. The Tigers have continued to monitor in-state three-star Brysen Wessell, who is committed to Iowa State as a defensive lineman.
Emanuel Ruffin, DL, No. 212
As he slowed down his recruitment this summer, Emanuel Ruffin, a 6-foot-5, 290-pounder, fielded new interest this fall. The four-star Bessemer (Ala.) City defensive lineman — who joined the Rivals300 on Monday — received an official offer from Missouri in August and looked into visiting the program this October.
The Tigers whiffed on multiple defensive linemen this summer in Danny Beale, Keytrin Harris and Anthony Kennedy Jr. With Al Davis no longer on staff, defensive tackles coach David Blackwell has used the fall to build up relationships for late official visits.
TJ Hodges, RB, No. 294
Although hoping to announce his commitment soon after his summer official visits, TJ Hodges carried his decision into the fall. The four-star — who previously ranked 252nd — officially visited Missouri in early June. The Tigers have liked to carry two running backs in each class, but Hodges recently started to trend toward Baylor.
The Bryant (Ark.) prospect visited the Bears this past weekend. He will make his commitment known Oct. 4 between Arkansas, Baylor, Louisville, Missouri, Oklahoma State and Oregon.
