Missouri Keeps Rolling on the Recruiting Trail
For the second consecutive day, Eli Drinkwitz and his coaching staff have landed another in-state commitment for Missouri’s 2027 recruiting class. The Tigers continue to build strong early momentum, this time adding a promising defender from the Kansas City area to their growing group of future talent.
In-State Linebacker Commits to the Tigers
Three-star linebacker Caleb Green of Lee’s Summit North has officially announced his commitment to Missouri. Green becomes one of the latest local prospects to choose the Tigers, reinforcing the program’s emphasis on keeping top Missouri talent close to home. His decision further strengthens Mizzou’s early push in the 2027 cycle.
Family Connection to the Program
Green’s commitment also comes with a strong family tie to the program, as he is the younger brother of current Missouri offensive lineman Cayden Green. That connection played a meaningful role in his recruitment, helping Missouri maintain a familiar and trusted presence in his development.
Strong Production at the High School Level
On the field, Green delivered a standout junior season at Lee’s Summit North, where he led the team with 14.5 tackles per game and added 2.5 sacks per game.
His production helped guide the program to a 6–4 record, showcasing his ability to be a disruptive and consistent defensive presence.
Building Missouri’s 2027 Class
With his commitment, Green becomes the eighth overall member of Missouri’s 2027 recruiting class. He joins fellow in-state pledges tight end Jack Brown, wide receiver Chris Harris Jr., and safety Keiran Govan as part of an early foundation the Tigers are quickly assembling. Missouri continues to prioritize regional talent while expanding its recruiting reach into multiple positions.
