Missouri Tigers

Mason Oglesby, a four-star tight end in the class of 2027, narrowed his preferred destinations to six teams Wednesday, one of which was the Missouri Tigers, according to a report from Rivals.

In addition to Missouri, Oglesby's final six schools included his homestate team, Indiana, along with the Tigers' border rival, Kansas.

The 6-foot-4, 220-pound tight end has received 26 offers, per 247 Sports. Oglesby ranks No. 4 among all players in the state of Indiana, according to 247's rankings.

Oglesby brings more than just offensive talent, starring as a dual-threat for New Palestine at tight end and edge rusher. The two-way player recorded eight total touchdowns and seven tackles for losses in his junior year per MaxPreps.

In the 2026 class, Missouri brought in three-star prospect Isaac Jensen, a Nebraska native. In the class of 2027 at the position, Missouri has been involved in the recruiting of local prospect Jack Brown, rated by 247 as the best prospect in the state in the class and the seventh best at the position.
