COLUMBIA, Mo. – University of Missouri Head Football Coach Barry Odom announced today the signing of six more standout student-athletes to a National Letter of Intent (NLI) to attend Mizzou and play football for the Tigers.

The latest to join Odom’s program as part of the 2018 class include prep all-stars Tyler Badie (RB – Memphis, Tenn.), Nick Bolton (LB – Frisco, Texas), Xavier Delgado (OL – Glendale, Ariz), Jatorian Hansford (DE – Forsyth, Ga.) and Bobby Lawrence (OL – St. Joseph, Mo.), as well as junior college standout Lindsay Scott, Jr. (QB – Zachary, La./East Mississippi CC). The addition of this group brings the current class size number to 25, after 19 standout athletes signed with Mizzou during the first-ever early signing period from Dec. 20-22.

Odom and the Tiger coaching staff will canvas the state of Missouri over the following two weeks to meet fans and discuss the 2018 signing class, and all things related to Mizzou Football, at four upcoming recruiting events. The caravan begins Feb. 13th in Columbia, and then travels to Kansas City on Feb. 15th, followed the next week with stops in Springfield (Feb. 21st) and St. Louis (Feb. 22nd). Visit MUTigers.com for all the details on how to pre-register to attend these exciting events.

The Mizzou program, fresh off its seven-win season and first bowl appearance since 2014, is currently in the middle of off-season conditioning in preparation for spring camp, which is set to start on March 6th. A seven-game home schedule awaits Tiger fans in the fall of 2018, including games against Georgia, Arkansas, Kentucky and Vanderbilt in the SEC, with non-conference games versus Memphis, Wyoming and UT-Martin.
