A Star is Coming to Columbia
Jabari Brady, the electric 4-star wide receiver from Tallahassee, Florida, has made his decision—and it’s a stunner.
Despite offers from Georgia, Miami, Florida State, and Texas A&M, Brady is headed to Missouri.
> “They believed in me before I blew up,” Brady said during a live commitment stream. “I’m coming to Columbia to make history.”
Just like that, Missouri landed one of the most high-profile offensive recruits in the entire 2026 class—and the ripple effect could redefine the program’s recruiting future.

Why This Commitment Hit Like a Thunderclap
Height: 6’2″
Speed: Elite separation and acceleration
Vision: Compares to NFL-level talent
Offers: SEC and ACC blue bloods
This isn’t a typical commitment. Jabari Brady is the type of recruit that turns programs around. Not only does he project as a day-one starter, but he also brings the kind of swagger and gravity that attracts other elite athletes.
Missouri didn’t just win a battle—they won a recruiting war.

Momentum Shift in the SEC?
Coach Eliah Drinkwitz has made bold claims about transforming Missouri into a top-tier destination. But today, those words got teeth.
With Brady locked in, Missouri’s message to the SEC is loud and clear:
We’re done waiting. We’re coming for you.
And this could be the start of something even bigger. Missouri has already hosted five other blue-chip recruits this month. Brady’s commitment is expected to cause a domino effect in the 2026 cycle.

More Than a Commitment — It’s a Culture Shift
This isn’t just about talent. It’s about trust, loyalty, and belief.
Brady publicly thanked Missouri’s coaching staff for backing him early, long before the big-name programs came knocking. That message hits hard with recruits—and it says a lot about the culture Missouri is building behind closed doors
> “This is a brotherhood now,” Brady said. “And I want to lead it.”
