BREAKING: Penn State Defensive Lineman Kaleb James Flips Commitment to Missouri Tigers, Opting Against Bulldogs, Texas Longhorns

Kaleb James had spent weeks in deep thought, weighing his future as the pressure mounted. Initially committed to Penn State, he had also been heavily courted by Georgia and Texas, two powerhouse programs that promised exposure, competition, and the chance to play on the biggest stages.

But something about Missouri kept calling to him. Maybe it was the raw energy of Eli Drinkwitz’s coaching staff or the way the Tigers had developed defensive linemen into NFL prospects. Maybe it was the feeling of being wanted—not just as a player, but as a leader.

After his last-minute official visit to Columbia, everything clicked. The conversations with Mizzou’s defensive coordinator, the electric atmosphere of the program, and the vision laid out for him all felt right. That’s when he knew: he was flipping his commitment.

Social media erupted as Kaleb made the announcement. Georgia fans were stunned, Longhorns supporters fumed, and Penn State’s faithful were left in disbelief. But in Columbia, excitement was through the roof. The Tigers had just landed a game-changing force in the trenches.

For Kaleb, the decision wasn’t about following the biggest name—it was about carving his own path. And in Missouri, he was ready to make

his mark.
