Prospects That Pulled The Trigger Pre-Season

<p>Welcome to September. Here's taking a look at who delivered commitments as kickoff approached.</p>   <p><em>*** Use code <strong>StopPRZ30</strong> to slash 30% off your subscription to Prep Redzone ***</em></p>   <p><em>*** Follow your favorite programs along with us this season with <strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/missouri/high-schools/scores/">PRZ SCORES</a></strong> ***</em></p>   <p></p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='573284' first='Gerard' last='Minnix'] | WR | University City</h2>   <p>The most recent off the board in this group is "Sticks" Minnix. Presents a lengthy threat on the jump ball and in redzone - tightzone situations with his size and catch radius. Attracted offers from Division I and Division II programs, and decided on Upper Iowa before toe met ball.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/GerardMinnix/status/2088814680085295352 </div></figure>   <p></p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1324004' first='Khaelen' last='Kwi'] | iDL | Lee's Summit</h2>   <p>Kwi, who looks big on tape, measured in a big 6020 355 at Lindenwood in June. This massive man in the middle has natural strength and lower power with nimble feet and often needs a double team to be stopped. He is a bit of a bull in a china shop. In August, he committed to the first program to offer him in February, Washburn. Division I potential headed the Division II route, for now.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/khaelen_kwi/status/2087924626433171771 </div></figure>   <p></p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2043661' first='Travis' last='Shores, Jr.'] | WR | Kirkwood</h2>   <p>Checking in at 6010 161 and running sub-4.7 is the efficient former quarterback Travis Shores. This spatial weapon is one of several on a loaded Kirkwood roster. He finds holes in the coverage, shows vision in space, and does a great job in the blocking game as a receiver. Shores was the second to give his commitment to Division II Washburn in August and sports a Division I grade indicating his potential. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/KirkwoodFB/status/2093479805664583759 </div></figure>   <p></p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1323475' first='Cy' last='Wilmes'] | SAF | Blue Springs South</h2>   <p>Wilmes put up some good numbers in the combine setting over the past pair of offseasons, and put together good productivity in Fall 2025 which earned him Division I and Division II offers. Wilmes shows great strain to the ball, and as an intelligent football player, always puts himself in position to make a play on the ball. He makes a difference in game in terms of performance and leadership. Wilmes was the first of three to give Division II Washburn a commitment in August.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/cy_wilmes/status/2084085805853630600 </div></figure>   <p></p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='563281' first='Garret' last='Miller'] | QB | Rockhurst</h2>   <p>Miller shattered program records for completions and completion percentage in his first year as starter in 2025, leading the program to the district championships round of the postseason. Miller has a Division II grade and is currently headed to Central Missouri as he continues his journey.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/GarretMillerQB/status/2083625004378337442 </div></figure>   <p></p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1667949' first='Jack' last='Donnelly'] | QB | John Burroughs</h2>   <p>Donnelly had a standout showing at the Lindenwood camp back in June and continued that trend at other stops along the camp and combine series throughout the offseason. He stands at 6010 164 and delivers a nice deep ball while also displaying the ability to throw darts in the short and intermediate passing tree. Athletically, he can make plays with the ball in hand. Donnelly pulled the trigger to Trinity in August, and is expected to continue to generate Division II and Division III interest throughout the fall.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JackDonnelly415/status/2083348494757101848 </div></figure>   <p></p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1590180' first='Bryon' last='Buster'] | WR | Raytown</h2>   <p>Buster transferred into Raytown from St. Michael where he set a school record for receiving touchdowns in 2025. He has a long, lanky frame and played receiver and tight end at his previous spot. Listed at 6040 195, Buster is all limbs and presents himself as a deep ball threat and jump ball mismatch. Buster delivered his commitment to Western Illinois pre-season, but has a power conference ceiling.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/bryonbusterr/status/2082577687516766499 </div></figure>   <p></p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1059896' first='Brock' last='Barrows'] | iOL | Lee's Summit West</h2>   <p>Barrows is a highly athletic big man with great feet, power and aggressiveness. In the 2028 class, he is currently ranked in the Top 5 in the State of Missouri and figures to stay that way and present an argument for top player in the class throughout the fall. Coaches at the next level salivate over a prospect with size, quickness, fluidity, strength, power, and the gumption to take another man and plant him in the dirt. Barrows has all those things. He is the first out of the Missouri Class of 2028 to drop a pin, and he did so in Madison.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/brockbarrows_/status/2082282281423495615 </div></figure>   <p></p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Keep an eye out for the 2028 Rankings Reboot coming soon!</h2>   <p><strong><em>Tap in with the 2027 Rankings Reboot <a href="https://prepredzone.com/missouri/rankings/2027-rankings/">HERE</a>!</em></strong></p>   <p><em>*** Use code <strong>StopPRZ30</strong> to slash 30% off your subscription to Prep Redzone ***</em></p>   <p><em>*** Follow your favorite programs along with us this season with <strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/missouri/high-schools/scores/">PRZ SCORES</a></strong> ***</em></p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/PrepRedzoneMO/status/2094858398827217131 </div></figure>
