JUST IN: No.1 Player In Missouri Four-Star Offensive Tackle Jack Lange Chooses Missouri Football Over Oklahoma and Texas A&M For 2025 Class
Lange’s decision comes after intense recruiting battles with powerhouse programs Oklahoma and Texas A&M, making this commitment a bold statement for Mizzou’s ambitions moving forward.
Standing at 6-foot-6 and weighing in at over 290 pounds, Lange has been a dominant force on the offensive line for Lee’s Summit North High School. With an imposing frame, exceptional footwork, and a gritty playing style, he has long been considered one of the most complete offensive line prospects in the country. His national ranking as a top-10 offensive tackle and his elite athleticism have made him a hot commodity in the 2025 cycle, with offers flooding in from across the SEC and Big 12.
However, it was Eli Drinkwitz and the Missouri coaching staff that ultimately sealed the deal. The Tigers have made in-state recruiting a top priority in recent years, and Lange’s commitment is a significant payoff for that effort. Sources close to the recruitment say that Lange was impressed not only by Missouri’s football program but also by its academic environment, player development track record, and the growing sense of unity within the team.
“This is home,” Lange said in his commitment video shared via social media. “I’ve grown up watching Mizzou. It’s the school that believed in me early, and I believe in the direction Coach Drinkwitz is taking this program.”
His decision marks yet another huge addition to what is shaping up to be one of Missouri’s most promising recruiting classes in recent memory. Lange becomes the highest-rated offensive lineman to commit to Mizzou since the program joined the SEC, and his presence could provide immediate depth and long-term stability to the Tigers’ offensive front.
For Missouri fans, this commitment feels like a turning point. Beating out schools like Oklahoma and Texas A&M—both known for their deep recruiting resources and national brand power—demonstrates that the Tigers are no longer content with being viewed as underdogs in the SEC. They’re not just trying to keep top talent in-state; they’re succeeding.
Analysts have praised Lange’s technical ability, particularly his hand placement, agility in pass protection, and raw power in run blocking. He is projected to compete for early playing time and could potentially anchor the left side of Missouri’s line for years to come.
With recruiting momentum continuing to build and local stars like Jack Lange staying close to home, Missouri football is sending a clear message: the Tigers are ready to rise.
As National Signing Day approaches, all eyes will be on Columbia, Missouri, as the Tigers look to lock down a class that could change the program’s trajectory for the better. And at the center of that transformation will be the mountain of a man from Lee’s Summit—Jack Lange.
