You can add another name to Missouri’s growing list of signees in the 2020 recruiting cycle as Australia native and East Los Angeles College product Ben Key has officially signed with the Tigers.
The school announced the official addition of Key on Wednesday. Key had been committed to Mississippi State but flipped his pledge to Mizzou following Joe Moorhead’s departure in Starkville.
Following this news, Mizzou now has 11 signees for the 2020 recruiting cycle with three other prospects committed heading into the upcoming National Signing Day.
According to 247Sports Composite Rankings, Key is a three-star prospect and the No. 88 overall junior college recruit in the nation for the 2020 recruiting cycle. In addition to his Mississippi State scholarship offer, Arizona, Oregon and Oregon State had all offered him a scholarship to play college football.
Key has two years of eligibility remaining following his enrollment in Columbia.
To get an idea of what he brings to Missouri’s defense, check out his highlight reel in the tweet below:
