Former Cholla Charger Daniel Robledo commits to Missouri over Arizona Wildcats

Less than two years ago, Daniel Robledo wasn't on college football coaches' recruiting radar, and played for a Cholla High School team that went 1-9 in his senior season.

The three-star Robledo, who's rated by 247Sports as the top junior-college defensive end for the 2021 recruiting cycle, will join the SEC after he committed to play for the Missouri Tigers on Monday.

The 6-foot-5-inch, 280-pound Robledo, now at East Los Angeles College, selected the Tigers over the hometown Arizona Wildcats, UCLA, Boise State, Ole Miss, Washington State, Maryland, UNLV, Houston Nevada, South Florida and Liberty.

"Throughout my high school years, I had a lot of ups and downs with my academics and I wasn't able to achieve getting a Division-I offer," Robledo said in his commitment video on Twitter.
