Duff (6'2" 190) already holds an offer from the Tigers and has seen interest from them increase in recent months. Dillon is another strong-armed quarterback who has the wheels to be a playmaker as a runner. Something the SEC school is looking for to add to their program. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='179185' first='Corey' last='Simms'] <br>-WR CBC<br>Simms went the opposite direction to check out the Penn State Nittany Lions junior day he was invited to. The (6'3" 190) 6th ranked speedster is continuing to see his take off after a breakout season and state championship run in 2023. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='188601' first='Jamarion' last='Parker']<br>RB Cardinal Ritter <br>Current Arkansas verbal commit Parker is being courted by numerous schools still, including by Nebraska, who he took a junior day visit to on Saturday this past weekend. Jamarion is a big play type of back who can be a workhorse in any offense. His gliding running style and cutback ability combined with his speed makes him highly coveted. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1010558' first='Jack' last='Lange']<br>OT Eureka<br>The prospect with the most offers recently is the (6'8" 270) Lange, who took a junior day visit to Notre Dame, who he was offered too earlier. Jack's size and athleticism has made him a target of programs across the country in recent months, including in the past week from Oklahoma, Penn State, Wisconsin and Minnesota. He too a mid-week unofficial to Mizzou. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1117654' first='Daeden' last='Hopkins']</strong><br>DE/TE Hermann<br>The rangy (6'6" 220) Hopkins stayed close to home making the trip to Columbia and Mizzou on Saturday. Daedan is one of the top and most versatile athletes in the 2025 class. He could play either side of the ball on the next level, but he currently prefers playing on the defensive size at defensive end. His length, speed and quick first step makes his a tough match-up coming off the edge rushing the quarterback. On offense he runs like a receiver and has great hands. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='285142' first='Jason' last='King']<br>LB De Smet<br>King joined his teammate Duff at Mizzou on Saturday. The big-hitting linebacker (6'2" 215) already holds and offer from the Tigers and is one of the top defensive prospects in the state regardless of class. Jason is tough against the run up the middle and sideline-to-sideline making plays, and can also cover in pass defense. He currently also holds offers from Tennessee, Kentucky, Kansas State, Iowa State, Kansas, UNLV and others.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='226294' first='Gabe' last='Fields']<br>RB St. Joseph Central<br>Speedy all-purpose back (6'0" 190) who ran for almost 1,400 yards and 21 touchdowns despite missing a few games also made the drive to home state Mizzou for a junior day visit. Fields, who holds early offers from Iowa State, Baylor and Toledo, has been receiving interest from the Tigers since midway through his junior season. Other schools such as Kansas, Nebraska and Kansas State have also been showing interest. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='215751' first='Lucas' last='Allgeyer']<br>OT/DL MICDS<br>One of the most athletic lineman in the class is the (6'6" 260) Allgeyer, who is big, fast, explosive and has a great motor getting after running backs and quarterbacks or blocking defenders from his tackle position on offense. Lucas headed to Manhattan, Kansas, and a junior day visit with the K-State Wildcats over the weekend. The Wildcats have already offered him along with Iowa State, Nebraska, North Carolina State and others. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='188600' first='Dakarri' last='Hollis']<br>QB Lutheran North<br>- Another big-time in-state quarterback who stayed local and tripped to Mizzou on Saturday was the speedy signal-caller Hollis (6'2" 185), who threw for just under 3,000 yards and 34 touchdowns with only1 interception, and ran for over 800 yards and 14 more scores. The talented playmaker holds and early offer from Miami University. His skill set and athletic ability is similar to the other top quarterbacks in the outstanding 2025 class, so schools like Missouri and Kansas State are showing interest. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
