Recruiting Reset: Les “LJ” Hewitt adds size to Missouri’s secondary

Do you like 6-foot-3 cornerbacks with long arms and a willingness to play the run? Mizzou sure does!

Length has become a priority for Mizzou on the back end in recent seasons. The only cornerbacks measuring in under 6-foot are Kris Abrams-Draine and freshman Marcus Scott II. Last year’s prized additions - Allie Green IV and Akayleb Evans - both measured in at 6-foot-2.

The latest long cornerback to join Missouri’s secondary is Les “LJ” Hewitt. He spent last season at Holmes Community College in Mississippi and transferred to Mississippi Gulf Coast for the spring semester.
