5-Star Forward Toni Bryant Commits To Missouri Tigers

Overview

  • With Bryant’s pledge, Missouri is the only program in the 2026 cycle holding multiple five-star commitments.
  • Bryant, a 6-foot-9 forward from Zephyrhills Christian Academy in Florida, is ranked No. 14 overall and No. 4 at power forward by ESPN.
  • He chose the Tigers over reported offers from Kansas, North Carolina and NC State.
  • The commitment follows the summer addition of five-star guard Jason Crowe Jr., giving Missouri two top-15 recruits in the class.
  • Missouri’s surge comes after Dennis Gates led a rapid on-court turnaround last season, and the staff remains in pursuit of ESPN 100 prospects Tristan Reed and Aiden Chronister.
