Recruiting Reset: Williams Nwaneri is one-of-one

Missouri did it. They actually did it.

It’s hard to overstate the impact of a commitment like Williams Nwaneri’s. The only Rivals 5-star recruits to sign with the Tigers are Blaine Gabbert (2008), Sheldon Richardson (2009), Dorial Green-Beckham (2012) and Luther Burden (2022). Those are program altering talents.

You can soon add Williams Nwaneri to that list.

The Lee’s Summit North defensive end made it official in mid-August. I’ve been waiting for the right time to break down the impact because, frankly, the in-season results suddenly took the front seat.
