BREAKING: 2026 Four-Star SLUH Linebacker Keenan Harris Commits to Mizzou Football
It’s been a slow start to Mizzou’s 2026 recruiting class with the recent decommits of D’Montae Tims and Anthony Kennedy Jr., but Eli Drinkwitz and the staff picked up some momentum with a commitment from the St. Louis area on this Friday.
Joining quarterback Gavin Sidwar in the 2026 class is in-state product Keenan Harris — who has announced his commitment to Missouri.
A linebacker/safety from St. Louis University High School, Harris is rated as a four-star recruit and is a top five player in the state of Missouri for 2026 per Rivals and 247Sports.
Harris had an impressive junior season with 108 tackles (26 TFLs) to go along with three interceptions, two sacks, and two fumble recoveries — helping the Jr. Billikens to a 7-5 overall record. In his junior year campaign, he landed on the St. Louis Post Dispatch’s 2024 All-Metro Football second team. He was also named to the St. Louis Metro Football Coaches Association 1st Team All-Metro and All-State.
From releasing his Top 8 schools back in February — Harris chose Missouri over Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas State, Iowa, Oklahoma, and Oregon.
It’s safe to say that Eli Drinkwitz and the staff won an impressive recruiting battle.
