Football recruiting is heating up after a bunch of visits over the last few months have wrapped up, and the Missouri Tigers and Eli Drinkwitz were able to notch a nice pick up from a familiar place on Saturday.

Jabarri Lofton, a 3-star prospect from East St. Louis, IL, announced his commitment via social media today.

Lofton makes a quick commitment, and the recruiting ranking isn’t super high. But he’s got a long list of offers, and had a very productive offseason including some excellent camp showings which earned him heavy interest from some regional rivals. This is a good pickup, and an important addition to keep the pipeline from East St. Louis open.
