Brock Camp, TE, Hickman
Camp is a two-sport athlete, starring in basketball and football. This summer, had had visits to Missouri and Wisconsin. Camp is in line for a breakout junior season where his recruitment could take off if his summer is any indication.
Grayson Cutchlow, LB, Rock Bridge
Of all the players who have gotten onto college radars, Cutchlow is one of the biggest. He has eight offers and has had plenty of opposing coaches scheming to get away from him. The Tribune's reigning defensive player of the year could easily repeat.
Brady Davidson, QB, Rock Bridge
Davidson, Kaiser's cousin, is the Bruins' backup quarterback but don't let that deceive you. One11, a football recruiting service, ranked Davidson as the third-overall prospect in the 2025 class. He'll still make an impact on the field in 2023.
Austin Evans, QB, Southern Boone
The Jefferson City College baseball commit is primed for a big year. Not because he's a talented athlete, but because he has the chance to take the Eagles to the next step. His throwing ability matches the level of receivers the Eagles have, and that could spell success.
Alijah Jackman, LB, Battle
Battle has had a difficult offseason, swapping head coaches in the middle of its offseason. One constant among the Spartans is Jackman, who has the leadership to hold the ship together under first-year coach Matt Herman.
Sam Kaiser, QB, Rock Bridge
Kaiser is the best quarterback in Missouri. He's a Harvard commit that will probably see more offers come his way as he plays through the 2023 season. Expect a big year from Kaiser.
Rodney McNeil, DB, Hickman
McNeil is the leader of the Hickman defense. He's also a budding college prospect, visiting camps and earning offers this offseason. Quarterbacks will think twice before throwing to his side.
