Mizzou Misses Out on 3-Star DT Keytrin Harris

The Tigers miss out on a West Coast product who could have bolstered their 2026 recruiting class.

The Missouri Tigers have missed out on the commitment of three-star defensive tackle Keytrin Harris, a native of Chandler, Arizona. He attends Compass Prep at the moment. Harris is staying home and committing to Arizona.

Arizona has added some significant size in three-star defensive tackles Manoah Faupusa and Keytrin Harris.

The 6-2, 360-pound Faupusa committed to Arizona over North Carolina and Colorado. The 6-3, 290-pound Harris committed to the Wildcats over Missouri and Cal.

Harris is the No. 440 player in the country and No. 50 at his position. He's also the fifth-ranked player in Arizona. He held offers from California, UCLA, Miami, Tennessee, Georgia and plenty of others.

Standing at 6-foot-3, 290-pounds, Harris was a late addition to the last group of visitors the Tigers hosted on official visits. He seemed enamored by coming to Missouri, but staying on the West Coast ultimately ended up being the decision he made.

As of now, the Tigers still only have two commitments on defense, four-star linebacker Keenan Harris and three-star safety Tony Forney Jr. That number seems likely to increase in the coming days, but may be alarmingly low to some.

The commitment of four-star safety Jayden McGregory and three-star cornerback Javonte Smith are now looming. Those would be huge defensive additions in this year's class for the Tigers, especially McGregory.
