Prior to Sherrone Moore being fired from Michigan and Kyle Whittingham taking over, the university had brought in one of the top offensive linemen on the college football recruiting trail. After the move to Whittingham, Tristan Dare decided to reopen his recruitment.
Now, the stud offensive lineman, who has 35 offers before committing to Michigan in August 2025, has decided on his new home, according to Hayes Fawcett of Rivals.
Dare has decided to commit to Missouri in the Class of 2027. Missouri hosted the interior offensive lineman this past weekend, and position coach Brandon Jones made a strong impression, according to Sam Spiegelman of Rivals.
“Coach Jones, over the last two years, has developed Armand Membou; Cayden Green will be between 10 and 15 in the first round, and also a center that could go in the second or third rounds. It’s all about OL development there, and it’s a fit from an athleticism standpoint,” Dare told Rivals. “There’s a path there, there’s a plan there, and there’s a need for contributing early.”
Missouri was also aggressive in the pursuit of Dare after he backed out of his Michigan commitment.
“Over the three-ish months since decommitting, Missouri has consistently and steadily shown me how much they wanted me — whether it’s Coach Jones or another coach calling or texting me weekly to check in,” Dare added. “Coach Drink has also been texting me and has been a big part of my recruitment. So has Coach (Chip) Lindsey. The consistency and appreciation they’ve shown me as a player has shown me they want me, through this weekend at the official visit, it all stood out to me.”
Missouri now has 14 commitments for the class of 2027. They are currently ranked 28th in the nation and tenth in the SEC.
