COLUMBIA, Mo. — From safety Marvin Burks Jr. in St. Louis to offensive tackle Logan Reichert in Kansas City, Missouri’s 2023 signing class hit on Eli Drinkwitz’s Day 1 recruiting manifesto.
It’s been on the MU coach’s tongue since he took charge of the Missouri football program in late 2019. The message frequently projects out on the Memorial Stadium big screen even when Faurot Field is empty.
The Tigers announced 21 players — 18 high school recruits, one junior college transfer and two transfers — to its signing class Wednesday, and the mantra to recruit in-state again rang mostly true.
