Missouri Lines up Official Visit with 2026 4-Star TE Evan Jacobson

Hailing from Waukee, Iowa, Jacobson is ranked by 247Sports' composite ranking as the No. 11 tight end in the nation and the No. 1 player in the Hawkeye State. He stands at an incredible 6-foot-7, 220 lbs. and is able to use his massive frame to haul in contest grabs.

A multi-sport athlete, Jacobson also suits up for his high school's basketball team where, as a sophomore, he averaged over 13 points per game with just under 10 rebounds. Though he has limited experience at the position, having only played a few seasons now at Waukee High School, Jacobson's potential is obvious.

As of now, Missouri holds just two commitments in the 2026 recruiting class and has fallen a bit behind in recent weeks after a string of decommitments. With a massive summer full of big time visitors ahead; however, Drinkwitz and the staff could quickly turn things around.
