Mizzou Football may have lost to Alabama today, but the Eli Drinkwitz and the staff have picked up two commitments in one day — both coming from the lineman position. Joining Brysen Wessell is four-star
offensive tackle Johnnie Jones Jr.
Jones originally decommitted from UCLA and chose the Tigers over Mississippi State, Penn State, and other notable power conference programs.
Nationally, Jones ranks as a Top 150 player in the country per multiple recruiting outlets. He’s now the 16th commitment in Missouri’s 2026 recruting class.
