Eli Drinkwitz has Missouri scoring some big recruiting wins, but Monday saw his biggest yet. That much was clear from the reaction that it received.
5-star defensive lineman Williams Nwaneri committed to the Tigers on Monday, choosing Missouri over the likes of Georgia and Oklahoma. Nwaneri is regarded as the top defensive line recruit in the 2024 class and potentially the top recruit in the class.
For Drinkwitz and his staff, this was cause for celebration. Just take a look at how they reacted to Nwaneri’s announcement.

It’s not often that you see coaches celebrate like this, especially when there wasn’t even a game involved. Clearly, Nwaneri is viewed as huge get for the program, and justifiably so.
Drinkwitz is coming off back-to-back 6-7 seasons, but his recruiting is showing great promise. Perhaps it helped that he made quite the entrance when recruiting at Nwaneri’s high school last year.
