Eli Drinkwitz and the Missouri Tigers are preparing to host a massive crop of talented prospects for official visits this summer, and this week the list grew by one.

2026 4-Star tight end Evan Jacobson is set to visit Columbia this weekend on May 30th, joining nine other prospects who will be on campus as well. He took to social media on Wednesday to share the news.

Hailing from Waukee, Iowa, Jacobson is ranked by 247Sports' composite ranking as the No. 11 tight end in the nation and the No. 1 player in the Hawkeye State. He stands at an incredible 6-foot-7, 220 lbs. and is able to use his massive frame to haul in contest grabs.

A multi-sport athlete, Jacobson also suits up for his high school's basketball team where, as a sophomore, he averaged over 13 points per game with just under 10 rebounds. Though he has limited experience at the position, having only played a few seasons now at Waukee High School, Jacobson's potential is obvious.

As of now, Missouri holds just two commitments in the 2026 recruiting class and has fallen a bit behind in recent weeks after a string of decommitments. With a massive summer full of big time visitors ahead; however, Drinkwitz and the staff could quickly turn things around.
