Missouri Tigers National Signing Day Tracker
It's Wednesday Dec 21, and that means it's the first opportunity for football players to sign their national letters of intent and declare which program they'll be playing for. This should be a pretty solid day for the Tigers, given their list of commitments, but Mizzou head coach Eli Drinkwitz will likely still hit the recruiting trail hard in anticipation of February's second signing period.
2022 was a bit of an up-and-down year for Mizzou, finishing 6-6. That record came with some good wins and tough losses, leaving the Tigers in the middle of the pack, but still bowl eligible. Now, they'll prepare for their season finale, a Gasparilla Bowl clash with Wake Forest in late December.
While Drinkwitz & Co. head south to Tampa, Fla. to face the Demon Deacons, though, they'll be watching intently as their recruits sign on to become Tigers in 2023. This will be Drinkwitz' third true class, so fans will be eager to see how this roster stacks up in the fall.
