Happy fourth of July, everyone!
It’s certainly a happy 4th of July for Barry Odom and the Mizzou Football staff as they landed their 12th commitment of the 2020 class from Columbia Rock Bridge standout linebacker Will Norris.
COMMITTED!

Norris grew up cheering for his hometown Tigers, and received an offer from Linebackers coach Vernon Hargreaves back in March. While Norris’s recruitment hasn’t exactly exploded (Kansas was his only other power conference offer), he’s been pursued doggedly by the Tigers.
Norris also marks the 6th in state commitment (quick math shows that’s 50% of the total class to date) and the second Linebacker joining OLB Antonio Doyle in the crop.
