Missouri football has taken a major step forward in building its 2027 recruiting class, officially landing Omaha Westside High School quarterback Braylen Warren. The 6-foot-1, 200-pound dual-threat QB becomes a cornerstone of the Tigers’ future plans, giving the program a key piece to stabilize and strengthen its quarterback room.
A Dual-Threat Quarterback Ready for the Next Level
Warren’s high school production has been impressive. As a sophomore, he threw for 2,105 yards and 30 touchdowns, while also rushing for 175 yards and two scores. His junior season continued that strong trajectory with 1,847 passing yards, 27 touchdowns, and 288 rushing yards with three rushing scores.
Rated a 3-star recruit in the 247Sports Composite (0.8844 rating), Warren attracted interest from multiple Power Five programs, including Florida State and Iowa. Ultimately, Missouri’s consistent recruiting and multiple campus visits helped seal the commitment.
Missouri’s Strategic Early Commitment
Warren is Missouri’s first commit in the 2027 class. The Tigers first extended an offer during a spring practice visit, and he returned multiple times, including attending key games against Kansas and Mississippi State. According to 247Sports, the commitment signals Missouri’s confidence in Warren as a long-term solution at quarterback and a potential future starter.
“Braylen fits the profile we’re looking for,” said a source close to Missouri’s program. “He’s smart, competitive, and can impact the game through the air and on the ground. He’s exactly the type of player who can grow with our program.”
What This Means for the Tigers
With Warren now in the fold, Missouri strengthens its quarterback depth and gains a foundational piece for its offensive future. His combination of size, athleticism, and versatility gives the Tigers flexibility in offensive schemes and provides a signal of intent to recruits that Missouri is serious about building a competitive, high-powered program.
Missouri fans now have reason to be excited as Braylen Warren joins the Tigers and begins shaping the next era of Missouri football.
