Missouri football's 2026 recruiting class: Who signed early, who's next?

Missouri football’s Class of 2026 will likely be completed on Wednesday.

The Tigers, like almost certainly every Power-conference program, signed the bulk of its 2026 recruiting class back on Early Signing Day in December. The regular National Signing Day, which falls on Wednesday, Feb. 4, for college football players in the Class of 2026, is no longer the primary signing date 

But Mizzou is still expected to add a handful of players.

Back in December, Missouri signed 19 players. The Tigers’ 2026 class has since grown by five commitments, and 24 scholarship true freshmen are now expected to play for Mizzou this upcoming season.

Before signing day, here’s a look at who Mizzou has already landed and who is expected to sign on Wednesday:

Who is Missouri football expected to sign on National Signing Day?

Five more players are expected to sign for the Tigers on National Signing Day, all from within the Missouri state lines.

Defensive lineman Jocques Felix, cornerback Trashundon Neal, running back Preston Hatfield, wide receiver Karsten Fiene and safety Graham Faust all verbally committed to Mizzou in the past month, and they will all be able to officially sign for Missouri on Wednesday, Feb. 4.

Felix, a one-time Iowa State commit, will join Mizzou from Cardinal Ritter College Prep in St. Louis. He is rated as the No. 21 player out of Missouri in this recruiting cycle and is listed at 6-foot-3, 275 pounds.

Neal plays at Liberty North, near Kansas City, the same high school as current Mizzou kicker Blake Craig. The corner is the No. 10-ranked prospect in Missouri in his class.

Hatfield and Fiene will both sign with the Tigers out of Lee’s Summit High near Kansas City. 

Hatfield owns an MSHSAA record after rushing for 457 yards and four touchdowns for Lee’s Summit in its Class 6 title-game win over Nixa this past December. He’s the No. 24-ranked player in Missouri.

Fiene was previously committed to Northwest Missouri State. After recording 1,586 all-purpose yards and 22 touchdowns in his senior season, Mizzou offered him and flipped his pledge.

Faust is a Mizzou legacy recruit. His father, Vic Faust, played tight end for Mizzou, appearing in 22 games between 1994 to 95. Graham Faust had 94 total tackles and two interceptions as a senior safety at Mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day. He is the No. 30-rated player in the state this year.

This group of players will enroll in the summer.
