In his quest to horde the best football players in the state, Missouri's Eli Drinkwitz checked another name off the list Friday. Marquis Gracial, a four-star defensive tackle at St. Charles High, announce his verbal commitment to Mizzou in a ceremony at his school.
Sitting at a table behind a row of caps from his five final choices — Alabama, Arizona State, Iowa State, Missouri and Oregon — Gracial tugged on the black Mizzou cap as he announced his decision. He's the eighth commitment for MU's 2022 class, the sixth from the state and fourth rated as a four-star prospect by 247Sports.
