Watch the video below as Missouri Tigers on SI football reporter Michael Stamps names three players at the moment in Missouri's 2026 class who could be on commitment watch.

Welcome to Missouri Tigers On SI's "Extra Point," a video series featuring the site's Missouri beat writers. Multiple times a week, the writers provide analysis on a topic concerning the Tigers or the landscape of college sports.

There hasn't been much news regarding Missouri's 2026 football class over the last few weeks. It's clear that it isn't at the level of recent classes, but there are still players the Tigers are looking to add.

Two of the names aren't foreign ones and one of them is. Four-star running back Terry Hodges is the highest-rated of the bunch, ranked as a top-400 player in the country. Three-star JUCO edge Demarcus Johnson is another name that's been floated around, as well.

The new name is three-star edge Micah Nickerson, per MizzouToday. He picked up an offer from the Tigers despite being committed to Mississippi State. He's the No. 1,316 player in the country and No. 105 of all defensive ends.

It isn't much, bit there are a few reasons to be optimistic. Those three players certainly would add more depth to this recruiting class would help them rise up recruiting rankings.
