Eli Drinkwitz and the Missouri Tigers just made a big splash in the 2027 recruiting class, landing the pledge of four-star tight end Jack Brown. Brown attends Francis Howell High School in St. Charles, Missouri, which is also the school that current tight end Brett Norfleet attended.

Brown was recruited by tight ends coach Alex Atkins, along with offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey.

Brown is the No. 100 player in the country, according to 247Sports composite rankings. He's also the fifth-best tight end in the country and the second-best player in Missouri, only behind Blue Springs linebacker Prince Goldsby.

The Missouri native was considering Kansas State, Illinois, and Arizona State, while also holding offers from Alabama, Virginia Tech, Miami, Michigan, Ole Miss, Oklahoma and other elite programs from across the country.

Brown stands at 6-foot-5, 215 pounds and is known for his strong hands and athleticism.

Drinkwitz has done a good job securing talent in the 2027 recruiting class, but Brown is the highest-rated so far. The prospective names the Tigers could add are more intriguing, however. Four-star wide receivers Chris Harris Jr., Lawrence Britt and Tae Walden are all possible commits in the class, along with four-star running back Myson Cook-Johnson. The potential in that offensive unit in the future could be very dynamic.

Missouri also recently hosted four-star wide receiver Quentin Burrell on an unofficial visit. The Tigers will have no shortage of potential playmakers.

On defense, the Tigers are zeroing in on four-star safety Kaleb Elkins and three-star safety Keland Shelton in the secondary. On the defensive line, four-star EDGE Rashad Streets, four-star defensive tackle David Folorunsho and three-star defensive tackle Nehemiah Ombati are all names to look out for. In-state linebackers Marshaun Ivy and other linebackers like Blake Betton and Ethan Hauser could be potential names, as well.

Brown marks the fourth commitment in the 2027 class, joining three-star quarterback Braylen Warren and three-star offensive lineman Lual Aleu, along with three-star safety Jabarri Lofton.
