The Mizzou football team on Tuesday added four-star wide receiver Chris Harris Jr. from Lee’s Summit West High to its growing list of class of 2027 pledges, according to Rivals.com.
Harris, listed at 6-foot, 175 pounds, is considered by 247 Sports to be the No. 341 player in the nation and the No. 4 player in the state of Missouri.
He held offers from other power programs, including Alabama, Iowa State and Kansas State. Fellow Mizzou commitment Jack Brown and Harris are the only two in-state pledges the Tigers have picked up in the class of 2027 thus far. His commitment marks the fourth of the month for Drinkwitz and the fifth overall in the class.
As a junior, Harris gained nearly 2,000 all-purpose yards as a receiver, rusher or through the return game. He reeled in 57 catches for 929 yards plus 42 carries for 366 yards for a total of 15 total touchdowns.
The Tigers are stacked with receivers, with 11 currently on the roster for the 2026 season. Three of those players are projected to graduate, including Ole Miss transfer Cayden Lee. Mizzou has had a fairly steady pipeline of talented wideouts, including 1,000-yard seasons from J’Mon Moore (twice) and Luther Burden III in the last 10 years.
