Missouri's top 2025 high school football recruits
The Class of 2024 football prospects coming from Missouri high schools will likely go down in history as one of the strongest groups from the Show-Me State.
That impressive bunch was led by five prospects ranked in the top 100 nationally in Lee's Summit North defensive lineman Williams Nwaneri (Missouri signee), St. Louis University High wide receiver Ryan Wingo (Texas), Rockhurst offensive tackle Andrew Sprague (Michigan), CBC wide receiver Jeremiah McClellan (Oregon) and Raymore-Peculiar tight end Jaden Reddell (Georgia). Hannibal running Aneyas Williams (Notre Dame) wasn't a top 100 prospect but pieced together one of the best high school football careers in the state of Missouri.
The Class of 2025 in Missouri currently doesn't have anyone among the top 100 prospects in 247Sports' rankings, but there are several prospects who have been heavily recruited by big-time Division I programs and will go on to have good college careers.
With the start of the football season just around the corner, we put together this early look at the top 50 prospects in Missouri in the Class of 2025. There were several talented players who didn't make the list but could very well work their way into the mix with strong senior seasons.
