National Recruiting Trend Hits Home for Missouri High School Football

The recent commitment of former UCLA LB signee Weston Port to Michigan is sending shockwaves through the national recruiting scene. But what does it mean for Missouri high school football? For programs like St. Louis' Vashon High School and Kansas City's Bishop Miege, the trend of top prospects decommitting from Power Five programs to follow coaches is a growing concern. With coaches like Missouri's own Gary Pinkel's protégé, new Kansas City Chiefs' assistant coach, and former Missouri assistant coach, Brent Dearmon, now at Michigan, it's clear that the talent pipeline is shifting. Local coaches will need to adapt and find ways to keep top talent in the state.
