It’s game week — and the 2022 recruiting class is officially off and running! Eli Drinkwitz has started this class off with a bang as he continues the in-state momentum. This time, it is from the western side of the state in the Kansas City area – and just so happens to be from the same high school as Drew Lock.
Max Whisner, a three-star tight end from Lee’s Summit has announced his commitment to Missouri via Twitter:
