This is a big pickup.
On Sunday, four-star linebacker Chad Bailey (6-foot-0, 238 pounds, Missouri City, TX) announced that he had committed to Missouri.
"Special thanks Coach Odom, Coach Cross, and the Mizzou family fr taking me in as family and grating me the opportunity to play at the next level," Bailey said in his statement. "With that being said, I'm officially committing to the University of Missouri."
Bailey is Missouri's first four-star recruit of the 2018 class according to 247Sports, and therefore, is the team's highest-rated recruit so far for the recruiting cycle. Missouri now has 10 total commitments as a part of the class.
