COLUMBIA, Mo. — Even on its bye week, Missouri football managed to pick up a couple of wins.

Those came on the recruiting front, with two four-star prospects verbally committing to the Tigers over the weekend.

J.J. Bush, a linebacker from Theodore, Alabama, changed his pledge to Mizzou on Friday. He's ranked as the 13th best linebacker in the 2026 recruiting class by 247Sports.

Bush visited MU along with a few other schools in the summer but committed to Arkansas. When the Razorbacks fired coach Sam Pittman last week, however, he reopened his recruitment and the Tigers' rekindled their interest.
