The Missouri Tigers are still putting together a solid 2019 recruiting class, despite the NCAA sanctions recently handed down.
On Tuesday, they added a preferred walk-on to the class, and it comes from an in-state wide receiver from Marshall, Missouri.
As you can see below, Jaylen Varner announced via Twitter that he had committed to the Tigers for the 2019 season and beyond:

Varner, a 5-11, 170-pound receiver, has not been rated by any of the major recruiting services.
Currently, the Tigers have the No. 13 class in the SEC and the No. 35 overall class in the nation, per the 247Sports rankings. We’ll find out on Wednesday if they can improve those rankings during National Signing Day.
