Mizzou Misses Out on 4-Star WR Jayden Petit to Wisconsin

Petit took official visits to Missouri, Wisconsin, Oklahoma and North Carolina. There was never a good read on where he was going but after the Tigers gained the commitment of three-star receiver Devyon Hill-Lomax on Wednesday, a third receiver commitment seemed unlikely.

The Naples native is the No. 209 player in the country and No. 31 among all wide receivers. He became the highest-ranked commit of the class for the Wisconsin Badgers, joining three-star safety Zachary Taylor and three-star defensive lineman Djidjou Bah.

This isn't the first time the Tigers have missed out on a four-star receiver. Missouri swung and missed on Mason James from Norman, Oklahoma, who's headed to Washington.

The Tigers have two current wide receiver commitments in Hill-Lomax and four-star Jabari Brady. Brady is also a receiver prospect from Florida.
