Commitment Analysis: Trevour Simms

The Missouri Tiger football class stands at 17 after picking up East St. Louis offensive lineman Trevour Simms. What does the it mean for the rest of the 2016 recruiting class and beyond? PowerMizzou.com takes a look.

Again, as we have said, it's tough to project exactly what's going to happen in the class. There are far more questions than answers with Barry Odom having been on the job for just 13 days. But we'll take our shot here on the offensive line.

Simms joins Trystan Castillo, Royce Newman and Mackenzie Nworah in the class on the offensive line. If all of them stick, we think Missouri is probably set on the line. The recruiting efforts now seem more focused on the skill positions, specifically quarterback and receiver. Plus, the Tigers have quite a few young linemen in the program. Not many of them saw the field last year, but 2016 should be the season we start to see a few of them make an impact.

But what happens if the Tigers either lose one of the four commitments or opt to take another offensive lineman anyway? Tramonda Moore has visited Missouri in the past and is one of very few linemen with a Tiger offer who isn't committed somewhere already. But Moore hasn't talked much about Mizzou in recent weeks.

At this point, if Missouri adds another lineman (and again, we aren't really expecting it) an out-of-left-field surprise might be a more likely option than any of the names we have seen surface throughout the year.
