2023 defensive lineman Serigne Tounkara commits to Missouri

League City (Texas) Clear Falls three-star defensive lineman Serigne Tounkara has committed to Missouri, he announced on Thursday afternoon.

The 6-foot-2, 245-pounder chose the Tigers over offers from SMU, Houston, Ole Miss, TCU and a handful of other programs.

Tounkara is the No. 761 overall prospect in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He ranks as the nation’s No. 81 defensive lineman and the No. 136 senior recruit in Texas.

On3 is slightly higher on him than other recruiting services though, as shown in the Industry Comparison. In the most recent rankings update, he was tabbed as the nation’s No. 77 defensive lineman and No. 122 recruit in the Lone Star State.

He joins a class that currently ranks No. 41 nationally in the On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings, headlined by four-star tight end Brett Norfleet, On300 wide receiver Joshua Manning, and four-stars Gabarri Johnson and Logan Reichert.
