COLUMBIA, Mo. — Fresh off another weekend of official visits, Missouri football picked up another verbal commitment in its 2026 class.
Running back Maxwell Warner, a three-star prospect out of Chicago, committed to the Tigers on Monday. He's rated as the No. 53 running back in the country and No. 24 player in Illinois by 247Sports.
Warner attends Whitney Young High School — coincidentally, where MU men's basketball coach Dennis Gates won a 1998 state championship as a player.Â
With Warner's commitment, Mizzou is up to five in the 2026 cycle. SLUH linebacker Keenan Harris, quarterback Gavin Sidwar, wide receiver Jabari Brady and tight end Isaac Jensen have also committed.
The Tigers will likely to continue to pick up a few more verbal commitments this summer as high school players make decisions ahead of their senior seasons.
