Missouri Tigers football has had a busy last few days, landing the commitment of three-star safety Tony Forney Jr. on July 4, and missing out on three-star defensive tackle Keytrin Harris on July 5. In two days, the Tigers await the commitment decision of three-star linebacker Adam Balogoun-Ali.

Currently attending Cardinal Newman High School in West Palm Beach Florida, Balogoun-Ali holds offers labeled as warm from Missouri, Auburn and Kentucky, according to 247Sports. His current crystal ball prediction is to land with the Auburn Tigers, but things could still change.

If the Tigers were to land Balogoun-Ali, he'd be the 11th commit for Missouri's 2026 class, joining the list below.
