While Missouri hosted multiple targets from Arkansas in its season finale Nov. 30, the Tigers also got a few in-state recruits a look at the program.

St. Louis (Mo.) Chaminade cornerback Dekarai Weaver made his first unofficial visit to Missouri as a prospect, albeit not his first trip to Memorial Stadium. The 6-foot, 173-pound defensive back enjoyed every aspect of his opportunity to see the Tigers.

"The culture was amazing as always," said Weaver, who was invited to the game by assistant director of defensive player personnel Christian Heinz. "Everyone was very supportive of the Tigers and nice as well. It meant a lot to me to come watch the Tigers have an awesome win over Arkansas."

Given the magnitude of the Tigers' win to end the season, co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach D.J. Smith didn't have time to meet with Weaver as planned. Weaver was also supposed to meet quarterback Brady Cook, a Chaminade alumnus, postgame.

Weaver put himself on the Tigers' radar in June, playing in a 7-on-7 tournament at Memorial Stadium. He starred both at cornerback and wide receiver, parlaying a strong offseason into his junior campaign in St. Louis.

Weaver, who hasn't announced a collegiate offer, competed in a camp at Lindenwood in May and Kansas in June. He also visited Purdue in March 2023.
