Four-star offensive tackle Lamont Rogers, No. 24 in the 2025 ESPN 300, announced on social media on Monday that he has decommitted from the Missouri Tigers.
Rogers, a 6-foot-7, 310-pound lineman from Mesquite, Texas, had been the top-ranked prospect in the Tigers' 2025 class since July. Yet, as Rogers took multiple visits to Texas A&M this fall -- most recently for the Aggies' Week 14 game against Texas -- questions persisted over whether ESPN's No. 7 offensive tackle would ultimately land at Missouri.
On Monday, Rogers sealed his move out of Eli Drinkwitz's 2025 class, reopening his recruitment less than 48 hours from the start of the three-day early signing period on Wednesday.
"After many thoughts, prayers and conversations with my family, I have decided to decommit from the University of Missouri," Rogers wrote in a statement. "I'd like to thank the Missouri staff for the opportunity and thank you [offensive line coach Brandon Jones] and [director of recruiting communication Maurey Bland] for your mentorship over the years."
With a big frame and an athletic background that also includes basketball and soccer, Rogers has college-ready size and stands among the highest-potential offensive line prospects in the 2025 class. He initially committed to Missouri on July 6, picking the Tigers over Texas A&M, Texas and Oklahoma.
Rogers' decommitment marks a significant blow to Missouri's 2025 class ahead of the early signing period. Upon Rogers' exit, the Tigers' count of ESPN 300 pledges lies at six, led by four-star quarterback Matt Zollers, ESPN's No. 7 pocket passer and the No. 93 overall prospect in the ESPN 300.
Missouri flipped four-star Kentucky running back pledge Marquise Davis (No. 123 in the ESPN 300) and followed Monday with a flip of three-star Pitt wide receiver commit DeMarion Fowlkes (ESPN's No. 66 WR in the 2025 class).
Rogers enters the early signing period as ESPN's third-ranked uncommitted prospect, trailing only five-star defenders Justus Terry (No. 7 overall) and Jahkeem Stewart (No. 11 overall).
A long-time Texas A&M target, Rogers made his fourth visit to the Aggies on Saturday. Five-star Oklahoma offensive tackle pledge Michael Fasusi (No. 9 overall) and four-star wide receiver Jerome Myles (No. 33) were also in attendance for Texas A&M's 17-7 loss, and all three remain key targets for the Aggies as the early signing period gets set to open on Wednesday.
