2027 Rankings Reboot: A Deep Class of Hogs Takes Shape

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A fresh and full update of the Missouri Class of 2027 rankings was dropped this month. The 'Reboot' completely broke down and built this current form of the list from the ground up position by position, organized using NFL Draft board principles and major Division I level evaluation and projection criteria based on 20+ years experience ‘in the room'. Today we look specifically at the movement amongst the hogs up front with some interesting superlatives.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>*** Use code&nbsp;<strong>StopPRZ30</strong>&nbsp;to slash 30% off your subscription to Prep Redzone ***</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h1 class="wp-block-heading"><em><a href="https://prepredzone.com/missouri/rankings/2027-rankings/"><strong>Tap here for access to the 2027 Missouri Rankings Reboot</strong></a></em></h1> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><em>Status Quo at the Head of the Class</em></strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='652849' first='Kyler' last='Kuhn'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1669358' first='Brayden' last='Harris'] remain the Top 2 offensive linemen in the Class of 2027, and Number One at their respective positions. Kuhn is the top offensive lineman on the board and there's not much this big man can't do. A legitimate iOL, Kuhn can realistically play 'All-3' on the interior, he has a big wingspan, and plays with a mean, nasty, physical demeanor. He is staying in-state heading to Mizzou. Harris is long, lean, flexible and athletic and has a great future protecting the edges. Harris plays both left and right, seemingly loves to dominate his blocking assignment and looks for extra work downfield. He has all the uncoachables, and still somewhat raw, meaning his ceiling is massive. Kansas State currently holds his commitment.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The only uncommitted prospect in the Top 5 is [player_tooltip player_id='1667933' first='Tavion' last='Heyward']. Heyward has and excellent combination of length and athleticism protecting the edge and has a chance to explode this fall. [player_tooltip player_id='1667951' first='Will' last='Seiler'] is a big long and dominant tackle prospect that is committed to Tulsa. [player_tooltip player_id='1188456' first='Ethan' last='Bain'], headed to Eastern Michigan, is one of the most athletic big men in the State of Missouri. The fluidity with which he moves in space is unique.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Top 5 Hogs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='652849' first='Kyler' last='Kuhn'] | St. Pius X - Kansas City<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1669358' first='Brayden' last='Harris'] | Jackson<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1667933' first='Tavion' last='Heyward'] | Liberty North<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1667951' first='Will' last='Seiler'] | Lee's Summit<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1188456' first='Ethan' last='Bain'] | Parkway West</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><em>New Names Dotting The List</em></strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1188303' first='Zach' last='Harsha'] is the highest ranking newbie to the list and preparing for a massive senior season after missing 2025 due to injury. Originally from Arkansas, Harsha has an underdeveloped long frame, plays both ways, displays excellent feet and athleticism, physical, competitive, and can move bodies. His 2026 film is highly anticipated. [player_tooltip player_id='2150182' first='Chace' last='Croghan'] emerged with an athletic splash this offseason, and made quick work with his college decision pulling the trigger for South Dakota in June.

Waitkoss has quick feet, good agility, and plays physical and mean. He is well balanced and leveraged and operates well athletically at the second level. Owens is an undersized animal with a nasty mean streak, lateral athleticism and lots of juice. Though both play left tackle, they will likely find their home in the interior, potentially at the Division I level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>2027 Missouri Rankings Reboot Risers</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1590228' first='Mason' last='Waitkoss'] | Savannah (+219)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1667971' first='Issac' last='Owens'] | Farmington (+200)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1368047' first='Jackson' last='Bragg'] | Union (+127)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1667957' first='Owen' last='Smith'] | Blue Springs South (+104)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1198136' first='James' last='Moiyallah'] | Platte County (+73)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1590212' first='Jayden' last='Martin'] | Chillicothe (+69)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1664803' first='Silas' last='Babalola'] | Blue Springs (+61)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1188470' first='Chase' last='Love'] | Pattonville (+54)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2049969' first='King' last='Wright'] | Raytown (+48)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1906647' first='Jack' last='Barnett'] | Lee's Summit West (+48)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1590223' first='Marcus' last='Greene'] | Warrenton (+38)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1590218' first='Blake' last='Richards'] | Marshfield (+35)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1651420' first='James' last='O'Farrell'] | Rockhurst (+25)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1669393' first='Torion' last='Dupree'] | Chaminade (+22)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1667933' first='Tavion' last='Heyward'] | Liberty North (+19)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1188462' first='Isaac' last='Gottman'] | Rock Bridge (+19)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1667951' first='Will' last='Seiler'] | Lee's Summit (+14)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1556818' first='Caden' last='Ford'] | Timberland (+13)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1325184' first='Gavin' last='Shinn'] | Jackson (+13)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2048703' first='Kevin' last='Gilyard, Jr.'] | Cardinal Ritter (+5)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1323480' first='Jonathan' last='O'Bara'] | Blue Springs South (+5)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1323483' first='Matthew' last='Martinez'] | Blue Springs South (+4)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1669358' first='Brayden' last='Harris'] | Jackson (+2)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1667960' first='Noah' last='Eblen'] | St. Pius X - Kansas City (+1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><em>Hog Notes</em></strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This particular group of offensive linemen is the deepest position group in the Class of 2027 outside of the wide receivers, with over 25 prospects having Division I grades and/or potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>St. Pius X of Kansas City will have their entire offensive line ranked when it's said and done.
