Brody Smith is at the forefront of a Jeff City offense that put up sixty points last week. Brody received an offer from UT-Martin in August, so don’t be surprised when more schools closer to Missouri offer the talented senior this winter. Brody’s great combination of size and strength shows immediately on tape clearing the way as a puller for Jeff City’s rushing attack. Quick feet and a strong latch allow Brody to sustain blocks in the run game with ease. Lateral quickness shows getting good position as a center, while good athleticism allows Brody to square up defenders at the second level. Good length and experience playing multiple positions highlights Brody’s versatility at the next level.

Trevor Bindel Trevor Bindel 6’5″ | 295 lbs | OL Liberty | 2025 MO is a top OL prospect in the Kansas City area. He has visited Iowa and Kansas State just this month. Expect multiple recruiters to have eyes on the Liberty squad after a first-round bye last week. Trevor’s combination of length, quick feet, and knockout power highlights his ability to be a dominant run blocker in college. Good lateral quickness and a stout anchor allows Trevor to hold his ground in pass protection. A great combination of size and athleticism allows Trevor to develop into a legit blindside pass protector in college.
Sam Robinson is one of several De Smet prospects being recruited out of the trenches. The talented interior OL prospect has been on visits to Missouri State, Southern Illinois, and SEMO just this month. Watch for Sam’s Midwest recruitment to keep heating up before De Smet’s postseason has finished. Sam’s flexibility and next level power shows flattening defenders at the point of attack. Coaches like seeing Sam’s effort, and strong leg drive consistently finish blocks downfield. Good patience, lateral quickness, and a strong punch highlight Sam’s ability to handle speed rushers in college.

Kyler Kuhn is one of Missouri’s most dominant 2027 prospects you need to know about. The St. Pius X right tackle is bound to have his regional recruitment heat up before his sophomore year gets here. Kyler shows a great combination of power and acceleration exploding off the ball and flattening defensive tackles at the point of attack. A good understanding of angles and quick feet get displayed easily getting in front of linebackers at the second level. Good size, speed, and athleticism give Kyler a chance to develop into a pass blocker at multiple positions before his high school career is over.

Jack Lange is making a strong case to be the most talented OL in Missouri’s 2025 class. After becoming a national recruit to start the season, Jack added to his list of offers with one from Tennessee just last week. Expect dozens of eyeballs to be on Eureka’s talented offensive line after a first-round bye. A rare combination of size, speed, and power shows right away removing defensive linemen from the point of attack. Jack shows quick feet and good explosiveness when working laterally to sustain blocks in the run game. Rare length and reactive athleticism highlight Jack’s potential to be an elite pass blocking prospect before his high school career ends.
