Missouri picked up its ninth commitment in the 2019 class on Wednesday when an Arlington, Texas offensive tackle tweeted his pledge.
Thalen Robinson, listed at 6-foot-6, 315 pounds, is a 3-star recruit, according to 247 Sports, and he’s the second offensive lineman, including the second tackle, to announce a commitment to Missouri. Robinson had eight known offers, and chose Missouri over the likes of Colorado State, Georgia State and SMU.
He’s rated the No. 112 offensive tackle in the country, and the No. 167 player in the state of Texas.
The Tigers were ranked last in the SEC before Robinson’s commitment, and they were No. 71 in the country.
The first eight Missouri commitments are rated as 3-stars, according to 247 Sports.
