Braylon Ellison, a 3-star offensive lineman from Boonville, becomes the 9th commit in Missouri’s 2026 class.

The offensive line buildup is in full swing for Eli Drinkwitz and the Missouri Tigers, who have now added their third lineman in just seven days to the 2026 recruiting class. It began with three-star Khalief Canty Jr., followed by four-star Brandon Anderson, and now the Tigers have a third.

Braylon Ellison, a three-star offensive tackle from Boonville, has committed to Missouri per his Twitter (X) account.

The 6-4 lineman visited Columbia on June 6th but is familiar with the school as his older brother, Tyson Ellison, was a walk-on the past two seasons with the team and his father, Atiyyah Ellison, played at Missouri in the early 2000s before being drafted in the third round of the NFL Draft.

During the 2026 recruit’s freshman season at Boonville High School, Ellison tore his labrum in his shoulder resulting in him missing most of the year. Ellison held offers from 13 schools, per 247Sports.

Ellison joins Gavin Sidwar, Jabari Brady, Maxwell Warner, Isaac Jensen, Devyon Hill-Lomax, Keenan Harris, Khalief Canty Jr, and Brandon Anderson as the ninth player in Missouri’s 2026 recruiting class.

Ellison is extremely strong and proved to be an effective blocker in the run and pass game during his junior season. The lineman quickly brought down numerous lineman coming off the edge, and was able to run through players when plays were drawn to his side. One thing to note: Boonville plays in Class 3 and didn’t have the hardest schedule this season finishing 9-3 with some pretty ugly losses.
