Norfleet is a 6-foot-7 EDGE and tight end on the football field, and there is a debate from recruiters about which position is his best fit in the long run. The On3 Consensus — a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies — has Norfleet as the No. 226 overall recruit in the country.

He is the first commit in the 2023 recruiting class for the Tigers.

On the baseball field, Brett Norfleet is a pitcher, first baseman and outfielder. He has reached 92 miles per hour off the pitcher’s mound on the radar gun.

“The 6’7 RHP is about everything you are looking for in a pitcher,” said Kevin Moulder, Prep Baseball Report’s Missouri Scouting Director, last November. “The athletic big man has a dominating fastball that will top out at 91, with still plenty of projectability and development in front of him. He is also considered one of the countries top tight end football recruits.”

He is the fifteenth member of Missouri’s recruiting class in baseball, according to Perfect Game.
