Per the 247Sports composite rankings, Okoli is the No. 41 strong-side defensive end in the class of 2021 and the No. 8 overall recruit from the state of Missouri.
The Tigers now have 11 players in their 2021 recruiting class, which currently ranks No. 28 in the nation and No. 8 in the SEC, per 247Sports.

He must not have had an offer from Missouri. Or Missouri could have already had too many DEs signed. Best of luck to him, hope the home area DEs don’t get favored over him. Kansas City is still the most loyal to Mizzou city (though not as loyal as the out-state)
War Eagle!
