Show-Me Recruiting Notebook

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another buys week of recruiting news with offers being extended to 2024 and 2025 prospects, and a talented linebacker announcing his verbal commitment.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 elite caliber WR prospect <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='179185' first='Corey' last='Simms']</strong> (6'3" 190) saw his recruitment explode this week with four offers coming his way from Penn State, Ole Miss, Michigan State and West Virginia. The speedy Simms has all the tools and measurables college programs look for in a receiver, which is what makes him a recruit getting nationwide attention. Look for that to continue for him heading into next spring and summer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fellow 2025 coveted prospect OT <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1010558' first='Jack' last='Lange']</strong> (6'8" 270) had been blowing the way Simms did this week in previous weeks. Still, Lange did pretty well for himself in adding offers this past week from both Washington and Tennessee. Lange will be another national caliber recruit before it is all said and done. He recently took a game day visit to Notre Dame and I would not be surprised to see the Irish offer sooner rather then later. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hermann 2025 TE/DE <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1117654' first='Daeden' last='Hopkins']</strong> (6'6"220) has been talked about weekly here since landing his first offer from Iowa State. This past week he landed two more with in-state Missouri and Cincinnati entering the race for his services following high school. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Columbia Hickman (6'7" 240) TE <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1117659' first='Brock' last='Camp']</strong> landed his first offer from Kent State. Camp has had a terrific season and is one of the top prospect in his class in the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Oklahoma State offered SLUH 2024 (6'4" 200) big-time S/ATH prospect <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='181558' first='Jacobi' last='Oliphant']</strong>. The Cowboys have found success with a similar athlete from St. Louis in Cameron Epps, and look to have come back to want to find that type of success with Oliphant, who is possibly the most underrated prospect in his class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>North Kansas City 2024 LB <strong>Eltoum Murgas</strong> ( 6'3" 210) announced his verbal commitment to Wyoming this week. Murgus is another incredible athlete who has been among the top testers at combines I have attended the past few years. It looks like the Cowboys may have gotten a steal here. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are some other offers announced this past week. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='125256' first='Landon' last='Boston']</strong> RB Washington - (Truman State)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>RB/LB South Shelby [player_tooltip player_id='1112355' first='Kendal' last='Hammond']</strong>- (Missouri Southern)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>QB [player_tooltip player_id='126260' first='Cole' last='McKey'] CBC</strong> - ( Monmouth and Westminster College)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>DB/WR [player_tooltip player_id='171963' first='Kaleb' last='Mays'] Lutheran St. Charles</strong> ( Westminster College) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='126210' first='Charlie' last='Blondin'] QB Warrenton </strong>- (Anna Maria College)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='126262' first='Sam' last='Sutter'] DE Summit</strong> - (Culver-Stockton)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='126236' first='Kylan' last='Wallace'] LB Kirkwood</strong> ( Culver-Stockton) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
