Three of the top Class of 2023 football prospects in the Show-Me State announced their college commitments this weekend, which has to go down as one of the biggest weekends for recruiting news in some time.
Let's take a quick look at who's going where...
<strong>TOP PROSPECT HEADED TO TENNESSEE</strong>
The No. 1 prospect in Missouri in the Class of 2023, Platte County edge rusher <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="112562" first="Chandavian" last="Bradley"] </strong>has the kind of rare combination of speed, quickness and athleticism on film that it's not hard to imagine him chasing down quarterbacks on Sundays in a few years.
Listed at 6-feet-6 and 215 pounds, Bradley received scholarship offers from coast to coast before narrowing his decision on June 27 to three Southeastern Conference schools: Tennessee, South Carolina and Texas A&M.
On Sunday afternoon, two weeks after announcing his three finalists, Bradley announced he was "150% locked in" to Tennessee.

<strong>BEST OFFENSIVE LINEMAN MAKES HIS CHOICE </strong>
The former No. 1 prospect in Missouri in the Class of 2023 (and now No. 2 prospect), Lee's Summit North offensive tackle <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="37658" first="Cayden" last="Green"] </strong>has been a big recruiting target for a few years now.
On June 26, Green tweeted "It's about that time..." with photos of himself during photoshoots at LSU, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Missouri, hinting at an upcoming decision among those four schools.
On Friday, Green announced he was committing to Oklahoma, a pledge that also could lead to a new pipeline of players from Lee's Summit North to Norman.
Green has two younger teammates who are elite prospects — 2024 edge rusher [player_tooltip player_id="185397" first="Williams" last="Nwaneri"] and 2025 wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id="177938" first="Isaiah" last="Mozee"] – and have also been offered by Oklahoma. Mozee's father, Jamar Mozee, played running back at Oklahoma and is Lee's Summit North's head coach.

<strong>NORTH KANSAS CITY STANDOUT HEADED TO OU</strong>
The Sooners added a second standout from the Kansas City area this weekend when North Kansas City 2023 edge rusher <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="188585" first="Adepoju" last="Adebawore"] </strong>pledged to the Sooners on Sunday evening.
The No. 7 prospect in Missouri in the Class of 2023, Adebawore announced a final five of Northwestern, Missouri, Georgia, LSU and Oklahoma on June 28 with a tweet that said he would be committing soon.
On Sunday, he announced that he was "all in" with the Sooners — giving new OU coach Brent Venables commitments from two of the top prospects in Missouri in his first full recruiting cycle.
OU may not be done in the Show-Me State, either. Adebawore's talented teammate, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="99473" first="Edric" last="Hill"]</strong>, a defensive lineman, also has scholarship offers from some of the top programs in college football, including Oklahoma, and could end up in Norman as well.

<strong>EUREKA OL HEADED TO IVY LEAGUE</strong>
Eureka offensive lineman <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="103440" first="Justin" last="Selbert"] </strong>announced on Saturday his "commitment to the admissions process" of Princeton.
A 6-4, 270-pounder, Selbert received offers from Northern Iowa, Columbia, Missouri State, Cornell, Eastern Illinois, Central Missouri, Yale, South Dakota State, Southern Illinois, Princeton and Washington University before making his decision.
