Missouri Bolsters Roster, Eyes Kansas Rivalry

The Missouri Tigers football program has secured a major commitment for its 2026 recruiting class with four-star wide receiver Jabari Brady choosing Missouri over top programs like Alabama and Michigan. Brady joins quarterback Gavin Sidwar and linebacker Keenan Harris as the Tigers' third commitment for that class. CBS Sports has recognized Missouri's roster as among the most improved nationally, citing transfer additions such as quarterback Beau Pribula and edge rusher Damon Wilson II. Anticipation is mounting for the September 6 rivalry game against Kansas, which marks the first meeting between the two programs in over a decade, with Coach Eli Drinkwitz stressing its historic importance. Missouri, fresh off a Music City Bowl win, has several possible postseason destinations if it falls short of the College Football Playoff, including the Gator and Birmingham Bowls. These developments highlight renewed optimism and momentum around the Tigers entering the 2025-26 season.
