COLUMBIA, Mo. • Kirkwood’s Jerod Alton picked up an offer from Missouri on Monday and didn’t waste any time deciding where he wants to play next year. Alton announced on Twitter Tuesday night that he’s committed to Mizzou. He later confirmed the decision while driving back from Columbia with his parents.
“My family felt really comfortable,” he said after taking an unofficial campus visit. “They really like the campus and everything, but the biggest part was they really enjoy the coaches and all their questions were answered about my safety as a player being there and my equal opportunity to play there.
