Missouri Weekly Recruiting Update: Tiger Football Extends Multiple Offers

A weekly brief on everything involving Missouri recruiting and what fans should keep an eye out for.

Mills-Knight receives Missouri offer

Shekai Mills-Knight, a running back from Chattanooga, Tenn, picked up an offer from Missouri on Feb. 26.

Mills-Knight is ranked as a 3-star on both On3 and rivals, coming in as the No. 43 RB in the country on On3 and No. 32 on Rivals. 

The Tennessee native has seen his recruitment pick up over the last couple weeks, also picking up offers from Auburn and Oregon this past week.

He also holds offers from Tennessee, Ole Miss, Florida, Miami, Cincinnati, Indiana, UCF, Liberty, Vanderbilt, Utah, South Carolina, Boston College and Michigan State. There are no current predictions as to where Mills-Knight will land.

Two top prospects set up official visits

Two of the Tigers' most valued prospects in the class of 2025 have scheduled official visits. 

Composite 4-star WR, Isaiah Mozee, is scheduled for a visit in Columbia between June, 21 to June, 23. Mozee has been on campus this past season.

Mozee goes to high school at Lee Summit North in Lee Summit, Mo, the home of current Missouri Tiger and former 5-star Williams Nwaneri. He has kept the Tigers at the top of his list, but other schools such as Oklahoma and Oregon have received predictions for the highly-touted WR.

The 6-foot-1, 185 WR ranks as No. 127 in the country, No. 15 of all WR's and No. 1 in the state of Missouri.

3-star EDGE Daeden Hopkins also set his official visit date, coming to campus on the same date as Mozee, June. 21 to June. 23. 

Hopkins is not as highly rated, ranking as a composite 4-star No. 373 nationally. He's the No. 30 EDGE and No. 5 player in the country. He also holds offers from Kansas State, Kansas, Cincinnati, Iowa State, Minnesota and Penn State.

Hopkins picked up a prediction from On3 on the morning of Feb. 29 to commit to Missouri. Hopkins could end up being the first player of the class of 2025 to commit to Missouri.

Rising DB picks up Third SEC offer

3-star S Joshua Johnson keeps picking up more and more offers from high-level programs, now adding Missouri to that list.

Including the Tigers, he's grabbed offers from Iowa, Penn State, Michigan State and Boston College most recently. They joined Tennessee and Kentucky as his only SEC offers.

The Ironton, Ohio native is ranked by both 247Sports and On3. On 247, he is the No. 49 safety and No. 32 player in the State of Ohio. On3 ranks him as the No. 38 CB in the country and No. 14 in his home state.
