Missouri's football program has taken a decisive step toward shaping its 2027 roster, landing two new three-star prospects who add depth on both sides of the ball.
Jack Marquard, a 6-foot-5, 275-pound offensive lineman from Lakewood, Ohio, announced his pledge to the Tigers, marking the third interior lineman to commit in this recruiting cycle.
Kobe Rhymes, a linebacker from North Kansas City, also committed, entering the class as one of the state's top-10 players and the 478th-ranked prospect nationally according to 247Sports.

The early momentum has helped the Tigers climb to No. 28 in the national composite and No. 9 within the SEC, a promising start for a class that still has room to grow.
Both recruits still have official visits lined up, with Marquard scheduled to tour Indiana, Duke and Wake Forest in the coming weeks, while Rhymes plans summer trips to Kansas, Kansas State and Nebraska.
The early national signing period for the 2027 class opens on Dec. 4, a date that will determine the final shape of Missouri's recruiting haul.
