Mizzou Football has acquired another four-star commit on the recruiting trail.

Jabari Brady, a wide receiver from Monarch High School in Florida, committed to head coach Eli Drinkwitz and his staff over Michigan, Nebraska and Florida. According to On3's Industry Rankings, he is the No. 367-ranked overall prospect and No. 58-ranked wide receiver in the nation.

The 6-foot-2, 190-pound talent tallied 485 yards and seven touchdowns in seven games during his junior season. Brady surpassed the 1,000-yard threshold one year prior, recording 70 catches for 1,392 yards and 10 touchdowns.

The 2025 Navy All-American Bowl selection represents the third blue-chip recruit to commit to Coach Drinkwitz's latest recruiting class. A blue-chip prospect is an athlete who is rated as a four-star or five-star player by one or more of the major recruiting services (On3, 247 Sports, Rivals and ESPN).

Brady joins four-star quarterback Gavin Sidwar and four-star linebacker Keenan Harris as the three members of Mizzou's 2026 class, which is currently considered the No. 53-best group in the nation.
