2025 EDGE Joshua Lewis commits to Missouri

Geismar (La.) Dutchtown three-star EDGE Joshua Lewis has committed to Missouri.

He chose the Tigers over Tulane, Georgia Tech, Cal and a handful of other schools.

Lewis is the No. 684 overall prospect in the 2025 class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He ranks as the nation’s No. 59 EDGE and the No. 23 recruit in the state of Louisiana.

He becomes the fourth commitment this month for Eli Drinkwitz and Co., joining elite four-star quarterback Matt Zollers, four-star linebacker Dante McClellan and three-star defensive lineman Jason Dowell.

Tigers looking to stack a major recruiting class together

With the winds of an 11-win season and Cotton Bowl victory over Ohio State at their back, Eli Drinkwitz and Co. are looking to make a major splash in the 2025 class. Zollers was the first domino on that list, and Dowell soon followed.

St. Louis (Mo.) Christian Brothers four-star Corey Simms is another high-priority target, and the Tigers are currently trending in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM).

“It excites me that I am being heavily recruited by my home state university,” Simms told On3’s Steve Wiltfong. “It excites me that the Mizzou staff keeps in communication with me and reminds me how much they would like me to be a part of their program. During my most recent visit it was exciting to have a chance to talk with the receivers coach throughout my visit. I enjoyed watching spring practice and becoming more familiar with how things are run. It was exciting for my mother and stepdad to join me in a conversation with Coach Drink. It was nice for us to get questions answered and converse with the head coach.

Things are picking up fast with Cocoa (Fla.) High On300 receiver Jayvan Boggs, and he and Zollers have also clicked fast.

“I love Mizzou coaching staff, the area and the message they give to me on what I would do when I get there!” Boggs said. He had a monster junior season turning 93 receptions into 1,500 yards and 24 touchdowns en route to a state championship. “And they always preach to me the big impact I would have as a freshman if I chose Mizzou and that’s huge for me.”

The Tigers are also in pole position for four-star Eureka (Mo.) offensive tackle Jack Lange, who is also considered Nebraska, Michigan, Notre Dame and a handful of others.
