Missouri to Host Rising 2026 OT Prospect for Potential Top-25 Matchup

Doughty currently suits up for Banneker High School in Atlanta, Georgia, and is ranked as the No. 75 offensive tackle in the nation and the No. 95 player in the state, according to 247Sports' composite ranking.

He was originally committed to Georgia State, making his announcement in June of this year, but he has since received a lot of interest from power four programs, and ultimately announced his decommitment from the Panthers less than a week ago.

Since August 30, Doughty has picked up offers from Georgia, Auburn, Missouri and Georgia Tech, and has already made trips to Athens and Auburn to see the Bulldogs and Tigers. He is expected to be in his hometown of Atlanta this weekend on September 13 to see the Yellow Jackets take on Clemson in their biggest matchup of the season so far.

As of now, Doughty is Missouri's only confirmed visitor from the 2026 class, but the Tigers did welcome a crop of 2027 and 2028 visitors for its Border War win over Kansas on September 6.
