Mizzou football has secured a 12th commit in its 2026 class in three-star EDGE Micah Nickerson.
The commitment comes just three days after a pledge from top junior college prospect Demarcus Johnson.
The Magnolia, Mississippi product — who was originally committed to Mississippi State — visited Columbia the weekend of the Mayor’s Cup. Safe to say the victory convinced him. Nickerson flipped his commitment to Missouri over other offers
like Louisiana, Tulane and Miami.
After a lack luster start to recruiting from Missouri, the Tigers have secured two commits in the past three days. He joins Gavin Sidwar, Jabari Brady, Maxwell Warner, Isaac Jensen, Devyon Hill-Lomax, Keenan Harris, Khalief Canty Jr,, Brandon Anderson, Braylon Ellison, Tony Forney and Demarcus Johnson as the 12th player in the Tigers’ 2026 recruiting class.

Nickerson is strong through the line, and shows a burst of quickness on the snap. Last season, South Pike had a strong season, finishing 9-2. This season the team is 2-3 through five games. Nickerson will look to continue helping his team get on the right track as he wraps up his senior season.
