Mason Oglesby, a four-star tight end prospect in the class of 2027, has narrowed his list of potential college destinations to six schools, including the Missouri Tigers. The 6-foot-4, 220-pound player from New Palestine, Indiana, has received 26 scholarship offers and is ranked as the fourth-best player in the state by 247Sports.

Why it matters

Securing a commitment from a highly-touted recruit like Oglesby would be a major boost for the Missouri football program as they look to continue building a competitive roster in the SEC. The Tigers have had success recruiting tight ends in recent years, and landing Oglesby could help them maintain that position of strength.

The details

In addition to Missouri, Oglesby's final six schools include his home-state team Indiana, along with Kansas, North Carolina, Purdue, and USC. Oglesby is a two-way player who starred at both tight end and edge rusher for New Palestine High School, recording eight total touchdowns and seven tackles for losses as a junior. Missouri has already secured a commitment from three-star tight end Isaac Jensen in the 2026 class, and they are also involved in the recruitment of Jack Brown, the top-ranked 2027 prospect in the state of Missouri.
