Interior offensive lineman Kyler Kuhn committed to Mizzou football on Sunday morning, becoming the third recruit in the 2027 class to commit over the last two days. He is the 17th commit in the class thus far for coach Eli Drinkwitz.
Kuhn is considered a four-star prospect by 247Sports, listed at 6-foot-3, 280 pounds. He is ranked as the No. 5 recruit in the state of Missouri. Kuhn plays at St. Pius X High School in Kansas City. Jack Brown and Chris Harris Jr., the No. 1 and 3 prospects in the state, are also committed to Mizzou. Across the nation, Kuhn is considered the No. 231 overall prospect and the No. 14 interior offensive lineman.
Kuhn took his official visit to Mizzou back on May 29. He was heavily recruited by Iowa and Nebraska, taking official visits to both programs following his trip to Columbia. The offensive lineman held offers from several teams which appeared in the College Football playoff last season, including Ole Miss, Oregon and Indiana.
He is the second interior offensive lineman in Drinkwitz’s 2027 class, joining three-star recruit Brandon Anderson. Overall, Kuhn is the fifth offensive lineman recruit for OL coach Brandon Jones, joining a trio of tackles.
The Tigers are set to graduate five interior offensive linemen after the 2026 season, including expected starting center Connor Tollison, which could free up early opportunities for Kuhn.
Kuhn’s commitment moved the Tigers to the No. 28 recruiting class in the nation and ninth in the class of 2027, per 247 Sports.
