Elijah Young’s commitment to Missouri on Tuesday continued Barry Odom’s hot stretch on the recruiting trail.
Going back the last four weeks, six recruits have committed to the Tigers. That streak began with offensive lineman Mitchell Walters on May 23 and it includes four-star linebacker Antonio Doyle on June 8.
Young’s commitments is the latest, but certainly not the last, as the Tigers haven’t really even entered the normal mid-summer stretch of decisions. Young, a 5.6 three-star, was a nice get for the running-back needy Tigers. He spurned offers from hometown Tennessee, Arkansas and Kentucky, among others, to head west from Knoxville to Columbia.
