After losing multiple verbal commits in the 2026 recruiting class over the past week, Eliah Drinkwitz picked up a much-needed commitment on Friday afternoon in the form of SLUH linebacker Keenan Harris.
Harris is expected to play linebacker at MU, but he also has experience at both safety and wide receiver. In his impressive junior season, Harris totaled 108 tackles (26 for loss), along with three interceptions, two sacks, and two fumble recoveries.
In recent seasons, the Tigers have done an excellent job keeping the top in-state talent at Missouri, and that's certainly the case with Harris. He is a consensus four-star prospect and ranked as a top-five recruit in Missouri for the 2026 class.
After the aforementioned loss of multiple recruits in the 2026 class, Harris joins quarterback Gavin Sidwar as the only two commits to this point.
Drinkwitz continues to recruit at a high level, earning Harris' commitment over the likes of Oregon, Iowa, Nebraska, and Oklahoma, among others.
Given the state of college football, it will be interesting to see how Harris' tenure at Mizzou plays out, but for the moment, this is certainly a strong verbal commitment for the Tigers.
