COLUMBIA, Mo. - Eliah Drinkwitz's first February signing date as Missouri's head coach began with a major coup. Ennis Rakestraw Jr., a Texas cornerback first targeted by former coach Barry Odom's staff last fall, chose the Tigers on Wednesday after becoming one of the hottest unsigned prospects in the country. In a ceremony at Duncanville, Texas, High School, Rakestraw chose Mizzou over Alabama and Texas, setting off a wild celebration 600 miles away at the MU team facility.
Mizzou's Twitter account captured Drinkwitz's reaction after watching the live feed of Rakestraw's announcement.
Rakestraw is a three-star prospect rated the nation's No.
