DL Chandavian Bradley Chandavian Bradley 6'5" | 215 lbs | DL Platte County | 2023 State MO Platte County (No. 2)
As we wrote in our 2023 rankings update stock-risers story, Bradley looks the part of a long and lean quick-twitch pass rusher. He’s 6-foot-6 and 210 pounds, but with the frame to add significant muscle mass. He has blown up as a prospect over the past few months and will continue to accumulate scholarship offers from the top programs in college football.
OL Logan Reichert Logan Reichert 6'7" | 350 lbs | OL Raytown | 2023 State MO Raytown (No. 5)
A 6-8, 355-pounder, Reichart is one of the biggest offensive linemen you will find anywhere and he’s one of the best as well. What he lacks in current skill set he makes up for with his future projection at that incredible size. His recruitment has already taken off and he will have offers from all over the country soon enough.
ATH Jeremiyah Love Jeremiyah Love 6'1" | 195 lbs | RB CBC | 2023 State MO CBC (No. 19)
It’s easy to see Love is a Division I athlete, as evidenced by his 6-1, 190-pound frame and his success as the 100-meter dash champion (10.76 seconds) at the Missouri Class 5 track and field championships this spring. It is more difficult to tell which position Love, who missed his sophomore season with an injury, will end up emerging at this fall. He has previously played running back, wide receiver and safety but will probably spend most of his time at running back and wide receiver this fall. He has an early scholarship offer from Missouri.
RB Lamana Tapusoa Lamana Tapusoa 5'10" | 205 lbs | RB Blue Springs | 2023 HI Blue Springs (No. 20)
A 6-0, 205-pounder, Tapusoa has an early scholarship offer from Nevada following an impressive sophomore season in which he ran for 458 yards and 10 touchdowns. He’s a strong back with speed and quickness and he will be a problem for opposing defenses this fall.
QB Sam Van Dyne Sam Van Dyne 6'3" | 200 lbs | QB Liberty North | 2023 State MO Liberty North (No. 21)
Van Dyne, a 6-3, 205-pound left-handed thrower, has garnered a lot of attention this offseason because of his Division I size and strong arm. He will go into his junior season with a lot of eyes on him to see if he can live up to the hype.
WR Heston Miller Heston Miller 6'2" | 195 lbs | WR West Plains | 2023 State MO West Plains (No. 23)
Miller, a 6-2, 195-pounder, may get more attention from colleges in the future as a bulked up safety with speed, but we like him right now as a big-play wide receiver who can stretch the field.
DL Tony Terry Jr Tony Terry Jr 6'4" | 235 lbs | DL Jackson | 2023 State MO Jackson (No. 32)
Terry is an impressive physical specimen at 6-5 and 240 pounds and has a chance to be a big-time prospect. With no film from his sophomore year, he will have to show what he’s capable of whenever he takes the field. He should get plenty of opportunities this fall.
OL Josh Gregory Josh Gregory 6'7" | 260 lbs | OL CBC | 2023 State MO CBC (No. 33)
Gregory was a member of CBC’s varsity basketball team as a freshman two years ago and did not play football. A year ago, he came out for the football team late in the season and made a few plays in mop-up duty as a defensive lineman. This offseason he was able to add some bulk to his tall frame and now checks in at 6-7 and 260 pounds. He looks like what Division I programs are looking for as a left or right tackle and that’s what he has turned himself in to. He’ll get tested against the Cadets’ difficult schedule this fall, but if he performs well he should have plenty of options for college.
RB William Lufiau William Lufiau 5'11" | 210 lbs | RB Chaminade | 2023 NJ Chaminade (No. 37)
A newcomer to the Missouri Class of 2023 rankings, Lufiau is a newcomer to Missouri as well as the United States. He transferred to Chaminade this spring after growing up and playing football in Canada. Now the 5-11, 210-pounder will get the opportunity to run behind one of the state’s best offensive lines, anchored by a pair of Division I offensive tackles, and with a pair of Division I athletes blocking for him at wide receiver. He should have a big season this fall.
