The Missouri commit was a nightmare this 2020 season, causing chaos in the backfield and being a leader on the Spartans’ defense. His fast and athletic ability allowed him to be a dog in the trenches. Wingo made a lot of outstanding plays that gave him a reason to be number 1, from having a strip sack to laying big hits on the quarterback.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="37171" first="Tobechi" last="Okoli"] 6’5 250 lbs<img class="size-medium wp-image-42344 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2020/08/20200810_154405-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></strong> <strong>Lincoln College Prep<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></strong> <strong>Ranked Moved from 18 to 11</strong> Okoli made a huge jump this year in the rankings. He was a key factor for Lincoln’s defense. His size and strength was a huge factor in making numerous plays in the background. The Auburn commit is able to play anywhere on the defensive line, causing a lot of disruption to offenses. He will be a monster when he enters the SEC conference. <strong><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-62743" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2020/10/20201017_164905-259x300.jpg" alt="" width="259" height="300" />[player_tooltip player_id="37167" first="Travion" last="Ford"] 6’4 240 lbs</strong> <strong>Lutheran North High School</strong> <strong>Ranked Moved from 14 to 13</strong> There’s no doubt that Ford is one of the most versatile defensive linemen in the state of Missouri. His size and quickness gives him an advantage to move pass offensive linemen and make huge plays in the backfield. Ford would get into the backfield so fast that the quarterback wouldn’t even have time to throw the ball. He will be a monster at Mizzou along with Wingo next year.
