The Missouri Tigers received a major recruiting boost for their 2027 class after 4-star quarterback Sione Kaho made a bold statement affirming his strong interest in the program. Hailing from Lincoln High School in Washington, Kaho has quickly emerged as one of the top quarterback prospects nationally, giving the Tigers confidence as they look to strengthen their roster in the coming seasons.
Rated as the 16th-best quarterback in the 2027 class by 247Sports, Kaho has drawn attention from several major programs, including Oregon, Cal, and Stanford, but he made it clear that Missouri is among the programs at the top of his list. The Lincoln High standout praised Coach Eliah Drinkwitz and the Tigers’ offensive system, emphasizing the program’s ability to develop quarterbacks and prepare them for success at the next level.
Kaho has already visited the Missouri campus multiple times, attending games, meeting with the coaching staff, and reviewing film sessions to better understand the Tigers’ offense. He described these experiences as “great” and said they strengthened his connection to the program.
In addition to his relationship with the coaches, Kaho has interacted with current Tigers’ 2027 commits, building early rapport with other in-state and out-of-state recruits. He highlighted the welcoming environment and the strong culture within Missouri’s football program as factors that make the Tigers an attractive landing spot.
Standing 6-foot-3 and weighing around 210 pounds, Kaho describes himself as a game manager who can also make plays in critical moments. While he does not directly compare himself to other quarterbacks, he studies and incorporates traits from stars like Drake Maye and CJ Stroud into his own game.
Kaho also shared that he is planning to make a decision in June 2026, though he cautioned that developments could occur sooner, hinting that fans should stay tuned for updates.
With Kaho showing strong interest in the Tigers, Missouri has not only landed a highly-ranked quarterback prospect but also sent a message that the program is a serious contender in the 2027 recruiting cycle. His connection to the staff and current recruits provides momentum as the Tigers continue building a class that could significantly impact the program in the coming years.
For now, Missouri Tigers fans have a major reason to be excited about their quarterback future and the potential addition of a top-tier playmaker in the 2027 class.
