Will be playing both ways for his program this fall, and looking to build on offensive production that topped 2300 yards and 27 TD in 2025.   -Flipped his commitment to Missouri weeks after pulling the trigger to Auburn in June.      <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top Uncommitted Prospect</h2>    -Missouri's 3rd ranked tailback and Top 50 player in the state for the Class of 2027, received a slight bump up in the new release.   -At 5080 182, ran an impressive 4.36x40 at the William Jewel camp over the summer, paired with a 31 inch vertical. Undersized in height but has some build to him.   -Quick and elusive with verified speed to burn. Can be used as an all purpose back type of weapon to create mismatches and foster offensive creativity.   -Attracted interest from multiple divisions from the power conferences all the way down the spectrum. Speed and playmaking ability give him the chance to reach his Division I grade with FBS level potential based on 2025 film. This fall will be a huge step to see how high he can climb.    Other intriguing uncommitted prospects include such prospects as Tillman, Rideout, Bradley and Zinnah from the Who's New list below. [player_tooltip player_id='1188295' first='Kade' last='Hoskins'], [player_tooltip player_id='1198130' first='Cannon' last='Cruse'], [player_tooltip player_id='1352427' first='Grant' last='Hyde'], [player_tooltip player_id='1198122' first='Brandon' last='Webb Jr.'], [player_tooltip player_id='1131009' first='Jaylon' last='Hampton'], [player_tooltip player_id='1255323' first='Zavion' last='Finney'], [player_tooltip player_id='1324005' first='Corey' last='Mayfield'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1188441' first='Caiden' last='Goodwin'], amongst others are also watch list names with potential for an explosive fall resulting in a massive surge of interest. The tailbacks group on the whole is one to keep a close eye on over the next couple months.     <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who's New?</h2>    -Top ranked newcomer that transferred in from East St. Louis (IL) and made an impact in the Class 6A IHSA State Championship game last fall.   -Reportedly ripped off a 4.5 at the Under Armour Camp this spring and delivered a notable performance versus the linebackers group in all versions of one on one periods, looking natural as a receiver.   -Shifty and laterally quick home run hitter type prospect. Versatile player that can be used out of the backfield and lined up at receiver. Difficult to tackle in small spaces and has ability to create big plays.   -Earned offers and interest from Division I FBS and FCS programs, and one of the top uncommitted prospects in the State of Missouri.    Look out for prospects out of this breakthrough group to splash this fall after putting production or flashes on tape last fall and throughout the offseason. Rice is another transfer in from Jeffersonville (IN) who will open eyes around the state with his size and athletic ability. Rideout and Bradley are electric, explosive playmaker type players that have potential to explode this fall. Zinnah is a well rounded back that emerged as a prospect after last fall, and will be looking for suitors to come through this season. Same can be said for Ferguson and Scheulen who will be playing for their futures in 2026.

Good feet in the hole, works in the passing game out of the backfield, elusive and evasive in space, and tough on contact. Has explosive tendencies.   -Reports a handful of lower level offers. Graded to potentially attract Division I interest with a proper showing this fall.
