Mizzou Recruiting Roundup: Three Wideout Commits Star to Begin Season

In this story:
Many high school football seasons around the nation began the past weekend. Many Mizzou football commits played their first games of the 2026 season.
As for future Tigers, the weekend was headlined by standout performances from the trio of wideout commits in Missouri's 2027 class.
Wide Receiver Commit Lawrence Britt Stars at Quarterback
Four-star 2027 wide receiver commit Lawrence Britt is the Tigers' highest-ranked skill-position commit in the class of 2027. But due to Lusanne's quarterback being ruled ineligible, Britt is filling in as the signal-caller.
He completed 12 of his 23 passes for 211 yards while rushing for 51 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. Talk about a jack of all trades.
To put the cherry on top, Britt recovered a key onside kick late in the game.
