The Morning Commute for Tuesday, June 24

Welcome to the Morning Commute

Today we’re talking about Mizzou Football Recruiting

Mizzou Football started (what could be) a busy recruiting week with the commitment of three-star running back Maxwell Warner on late Monday afternoon — adding to their 2026 class.

The addition of Maxwell Warner brings the 2026 recruiting class to a total of five commitments. Missouri’s class currently ranks 73rd on Rivals and 76th on 247Sports. That sounds underwhelming compared to previous years under Drinkwitz, doesn’t it?

Though, there’s obviously more to come. Josh Matejka’s Monday Morning Commute noted that three-star ATH Javonte Smith will be announcing his college decision today at noon — which could be down to Mizzou or Arkansas.

There’s also one more to watch today.

Khaliefy Canty, a three-star offensive lineman from Detroit, Michigan is set to announce his decision.

From True Deck on Rock M Plus, Canty’s decision should come down to Mizzou or Michigan State — so the Tigers will need to beat out the home state team to win the recruiting battle.

Stay tuned for what could be a busy day on the recruiting front.
