Hollywood, FL, USA - On June 8, 2025, the Missouri Tigers football program celebrated a significant addition to their roster as four-star wide receiver Jabari Brady from Pompano Beach, Florida, pledged his commitment to the team. This marks the third verbal commitment for Missouri’s Class of 2026, following a successful official visit to Columbia on the weekend of May 30.

Fans have taken to social media to express their enthusiasm for Brady’s decision, which comes after he was vigorously pursued by the Tigers‘ wide receivers coach, Jacob Peeler.

His commitment boosts the Tigers‘ recruiting momentum significantly.
