4-star IOL Henry Fenuku commits to Missouri Tigers

Fort Worth (Texas) North Crowley four-star offensive lineman Henry Fenuku has committed to Missouri.

He chose the Tigers over Texas Tech, Ohio State, SMU and more than a dozen other programs.

The hulking 6-foot-4, 295-pounder was on campus in Columbia over the weekend for an official visit and has chosen to shut things down after that trip.

Fenuku is the eighth commitment for the Tigers in the 2025 cycle, joining a class headlined by five-star Royersford (Pa.) Spring-Ford quarterback Matt Zollers and four-star Eureka (Mo.) offensive tackle Jack Lange.

He is the No. 386 prospect in the 2025 class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. Fenuku also ranks as the nation’s No. 29 interior offensive lineman and No. 61 recruit in the Lone Star State.

Fenuku is latest big addition in Missouri’s recruiting run

After a slow start to the the cycle, the momentum for Mizzou kicked off on April 4, as the Tigers beat out Georgia, Penn State and Pitt for Zollers, who also recently earned a five-star ranking as one of the nation’s top quarterbacks.

“My connections at Missouri were just greater than they were anywhere else,” Zollers told On3 upon his commitment.

Since adding the elite gunslinger, the Tigers staff wasted no time adding building blocks around Zollers. Belleville (Ill.) Althoff Catholic three-star defensive lineman Jason Dowell was the next to pledge on April 19. The flood gates opened from there.

Canton (Ohio) McKinley four-star linebacker Dante McClellan and Geismar (La.) Dutchtown three-star EDGE Joshua Lewis each committed on April 22. Eureka (Mo.) four-star offensive tackle Jack Lange — a top-200 overall recruit and the No. 1 prospect in Missouri — followed suit two days later.

“It’s close to home,” Lange told On3. “When I think of what I want in a college town, campus, academics and football, it’s everything that I want and I’m really excited to be a part of it. I’ve been told by Missouri’s coaches that I’m going to be a pillar in this recruiting class. I want to be able to help bring guys in and build this class up to something that’s really special. With me and Matt Zollers, I think we can really turn this thing into something that’s going to be great.” 

Saint Louis DeSmet three-star LB Jason King and four-star EDGE Daeden Hopkins rounded out a spectacular month on the trail for the Tigers.

And now after a slight lull in May, Eli Drinkwitz and Co. are back on the board, jumping to No. 18 nationally in the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings.
