Mizzou’s Class of 2025 is off with a bang.
On Thursday afternoon, Missouri football secured a commitment from Matt Zollers, a four-star quarterback in the Class of 2025, making him the first player to commit to Eli Drinkwitz and the Tigers’ next recruiting class.
Zollers is the No. 8-ranked quarterback in his class, per 247Sports’ composite rankings, the No. 78-ranked player in the nation and the No. 2 player out of Pennsylvania. He’s listed at 6 foot 3½, 205 pounds.
The Royersford, Pennsylvania, product was seemingly down to Mizzou and Georgia for his decision, with several recruiting forecasters picking Columbia as his likely landing spot Thursday morning. Zollers’ home-state school, Penn State, also was in the hunt for his commitment, but by decision day the two SEC schools emerged as the frontrunners.
247Sports logs Zollers as recording two straight 2,000-yard passing seasons for Spring-Ford High. Last season, the recruiting site shows Zollers going 182-for-290 (62.7%) passing with 37 touchdowns and two interceptions. He rushed for 420 more yards and seven scores.
“We ask a lot of the quarterback position and he’s on film doing all of these things that he would eventually be doing in college,” Spring-Ford coach Chad Brubaker told Marc Weiszer of the Athens Banner-Herald, which shared their reporting with the Columbia Daily Tribune.
“He can do everything,” Brubaker said. “We run a lot of different things, but one of the things is we do a lot of zone reads and also RPO stuff. He obviously has a tremendous arm. He is very intelligent, (has) a very high football IQ and wants to be good. A great leader. He checks off all the boxes. He can run, he can scramble, he has a good feel in the pocket.”
Current Missouri starting quarterback Brady Cook is entering his final season of collegiate eligibility…
