Eli Drinkwitz and his coaching staff have been making waves on the recruiting trail this week, securing multiple visits from top prospects for the upcoming spring and summer. The list of visitors continues to grow, with linebacker Adam Balogoun-Ali now added to the schedule, according to Tom Loy of 247Sports.
Balogoun-Ali, a standout from Cardinal Newman High School in West Palm Beach, Florida, is a 4-star recruit ranked as the No. 14 linebacker nationally and the No. 28 player in Florida by 247Sports’ composite rankings. A versatile athlete, Balogoun-Ali also competes in track and field and basketball. As a freshman, he reached the state qualifier in the high jump and averaged over eight points, five rebounds, and nearly two assists per game on the basketball court. On the football field, he spent his first three varsity seasons at Benjamin High School, where he amassed over 100 total tackles, 17 tackles for loss, and two interceptions.
Currently, Missouri has just one commit for the 2026 recruiting class but is positioning itself as a contender for several elite prospects. With a number of high-profile visits planned for Columbia this summer, Drinkwitz and his staff could be poised for a breakout offseason on the recruiting front.
