Over the past week, Mizzou has landed commitments from a slew of recruits who were previously committed to other schools. 

The flipping continued Friday, as four-star Class of 2026 defensive lineman Tajh Overton committed to Mizzou just five days after decommitting from Oklahoma State. Overton, who goes to high school about 90 minutes east of Stillwater in Owasso, Oklahoma, had been committed to the Cowboys since June.

Overton took an official visit to MU for its game against Alabama this past Saturday. The Tigers offered Overton in September, and they weren't alone in their interest in him. Overton held offers from a majority of SEC teams, and along with Oklahoma State and Mizzou he took official visits to Oklahoma and Ole Miss. 

Mizzou now has 19 commits in the Class of 2026.
