Mizzou may not hold many commitments at this time but the ones they do hold are noteworthy as two of the three of the Tiger pledges are ranked as four-star prospects following Wednesday commitment from Saint Louis native Jack Buford.
Buford announced his pledge during a commitment ceremony at his Lutheran North High School. The 6-foot-5, 320-pound Saint Louis native is ranked as the nation’s No. 35 offensive tackle prospect and the No. 8 overall prospect from Missouri according to 247Sports Composite Rankings. Buford picked Missouri over Arkansas and Oklahoma. He also holds scholarship offers from Auburn, Ole Miss, Tennessee among others.
