Wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham, the nation’s No. 1 football recruit according to Rivals, has signed a national letter of intent to play at Missouri.

The Springfield (Hillcrest), Mo., player says he wanted to remain close to home and that the Tigers — who are entering the Southeastern Conference next season — are the perfect fit. Green-Beckham says he built a close relationship with the Missouri coaches during the recruiting process and that influenced his decision.

Green-Beckham, a 6-6, 220-pound wide receiver from Hillcrest (Springfield, Mo.), picked Missouri over Arkansas, Oklahoma, Alabama and Texas.

In his career at Hillcrest, Green-Beckham set a national record with 6,447 receiving yards. He also broke his state season record with 2,233 yards on 119 catches with 24 touchdowns, set state records in single-game receiving yards (354) and career TD catches (72).
