Coveted Kansas City wideout Mudia Reuben commits to Stanford

Decision day has come for Riverside (Mo.) Park Hill South receiver Mudia Reuben.

The coveted star receiver from the Kansas City area announced on social media Thursday night that he had committed to the Stanford Cardinal.

Reuben, who is 6-foot-3 and 195 pounds, was down to Stanford, Vanderbilt and Kansas State. But in reality, the final decision was between the Cardinal and local Wildcats.

He took official visits to all three schools. But it was official visits to Stanford on Oct. 2 that helped him come to a final decision. The visit to Stanford couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. The Cardinal beat Oregon the weekend when he was on campus.

“It was fun,” Reuben said. “It was a great environment. (Stanford) beating Oregon amped up the whole visit, that is for sure.”

Reuben also raved about the overall academic package from Stanford. But he also enjoyed the whole scene and setting in Palo Alto. He called the campus “different” and “unlike anything he had ever seen before.”

Reuben is one of the top-ranked players in Missouri and a three-star prospect, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average. 

Park Hill South is 10-0 on the season, largely thanks to the efforts of Reuben. He’s got 857 yards receiving, 12 touchdowns and averages 21.4 yards a reception. The Panthers face rival Park Hill in the second round of the Missouri Class 6 playoffs on Friday night. 

With Reuben’s commitment, Stanford now has the No. 17 class in the 2022 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings. The Cardinal have seven four-star prospects committed, highlighted by six top-300 players.
