Following an impressive game where Missouri dominated both in the run game and defensively, the Tigers picked up their 22nd commit of the 2026 recruiting class in four star defensive back Jayden McGregory.<\/p>\n
McGregory, who was committed to Louisville, announced his flip on Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Missouri was in the hunt for McGregory prior to his commitment to Louisville, but the second time is the charm as he announced his flip. McGregory is the sixth highest rated recruit in Missouri\u2019s Class of 2026 according to 247Sports \u2014 and fifth highest on Rivals \u2014 and will look to be a strong addition to the already strong class.<\/p>\n
McGregory joins 21 other Tigers as Mizzou\u2019s 2026 recruiting class is officially turn around. The Tigers\u2019 class was ranked outside of the top 80 in 247Sport\u2019s team rankings and is now ranked in the top 30 with the new additions. He joins Ahmod Billins<\/a>, Tony Forney<\/a>, Brody Jones<\/a> and Carter Stewart<\/a> as the fifth defensive back in the recruiting class.<\/p>\n Get to know: Jayden McGregory<\/p>\n Hometown: Des Moines, Iowa<\/p>\n High School: Valley High School<\/p>\n Position: Cornerback\/Safety<\/p>\n 247Composite Ranking: Four-Star, 0.8967<\/p>\n Rivals Industry Ranking: Four-Star, 89.67<\/p>\n Total announced offers: 17<\/p>\n Offers to note: Louisville, Arkansas, Minnesota, Florida State<\/p>\n McGregory plays on both sides of the ball and similar to most of the Mizzou commits, he\u2019s lights out. He shows the ability to hawk down passes and focuses more on breaking them up than catching. On offense, he\u2019s agile, quick and gets open. He also has a solid vertical. He will be a super solid addition if he can translate his game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following an impressive game where Missouri dominated both in the run game and defensively, the Tigers picked up…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":302747,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,450,451,48551,124843,3,452,453],"class_list":["post-302746","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-headlines","tag-mizzou-football","tag-mizzou-football-recruiting","tag-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302746","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=302746"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302746\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/302747"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=302746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=302746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=302746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
