Missouri Tigers

The Missouri Tigers have just been predicted to land a four-star defensive tackle from Owasso, Oklahoma, in Oklahoma State commit Tajh Overton. The Tigers were engaged with Overton before his commitment decision to stay in his home state.

Overton's been committed to the Cowboys since June 27, which came 10 days after his official visit to Stillwater. He also holds offers from Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Arizona State, Arkansas and other big power conference programs.

So far this season, Overton's recorded six tackles, three for loss and two sacks. His sophomore season was one where he truly made himself known, posting 64 tackles and five sacks in 2023.

This would be the third commitment in the month of September for Missouri, all of which would have come on the defensive line. Head coach Eli Drinkwitz has recently added three-star JUCO defensive lineman DeMarcus Johnson, while also flipping four-star EDGE Micah Nickerson from Mississippi State.

Mizzou Quote of the Day:

[On Burning of Osceola, Mo., helping lead to Kansas rivalry] “They’re a bunch of thieves is what they are. And you can look it up in the dictionary. What the people in Kansas did I’m sure they felt was justified. And what we did over here we know was justified.”
Missouri historian Richard Sunderwirth

This Date in Mizzou History:

Oct. 1, 1927:
The landmark rock `M' debuted at Memorial Stadium after members of the freshman class pieced it with leftover rocks from the stadium project. The monument stood 90 feet wide by 95 feet high, and was welcomed by a 13-7 victory against Kansas State, 13-7. The tradition of the rocks being whitewashed by incoming freshmen students still continues.
