November is Barry Odom's best month and it just got better Friday. The Tigers picked up a verbal commitment from four-star Parkway North safety Jalani Williams, who chose the Tigers over Louisiana State. He announced his decision on KSDK and on Twitter.
Williams is the highest-rated Mizzou commitment from the St. Louis area since defensive lineman Terry Beckner Jr. from East St. Louis chose the Tigers in 2015. Williams gives Mizzou six in-state pledges for the 2019 class, five from St. Louis, where MU coach Barry Odom has picked up major momentum since the end of the 2017 season.
