As the saying goes: “One is random, two is a coincidence, but three is a trend.” Well Eli Drinkwitz and the Mizzou offense has officially developed a trend with the commitment of 4-star quarterback Gavin Sidwar. Sidwar’s commitment makes it three Keystone State quarterbacks committed or signed to the Mizzou roster, including Penn State transfer Beau Pribula and 2025 freshman Matt Zollers.
Sidwar’s commitment takes the total 2026 tally for Mizzou high schoolers to three, supplementing four-star defensive tackle Anthony Kennedy, Jr. and three-star safety D’Montae Tims. Even in the age of the transfer portal, when players (especially quarterbacks) come and go with the phases of the moon, it’s important to bring in a high school signal caller in every single class.
