In-state OL Drake Heismeyer is Mizzou's second 2020 commit

Missouri landed their second commitment in the 2020 recruiting class on Sunday afternoon when in-state offensive lineman Drake Heismeyer announced his pledge on Twitter.

Heismeyer's commitment comes on the heels of his most recent visit to Missouri on Saturday, where he took in the Tigers' spring practice.

The Francis-Howell (Mo.) product detailed what went into his decision.

"I've been all over the country visiting power five schools and I realized everywhere I went, I'd compare the program to Mizzou," Heismeyer explained. "My decision had everything to do with people. Coach Davis has been nothing but real and honest with me and my family and the same goes for Coach Odom. They both truly care for me and my family."

"In the end, I wanted to stay home and play football for the great state of Missouri. Saturday after practice, I sat down with Coach Davis and Coach Odom and told them I was staying home and committing to Mizzou."

Heismeyer chose the Tigers over the likes of Indiana, Michigan State, Purdue, Kansas State, and Iowa State.

The three-star prospect is also the second in-state commitment for the Tigers, joining Chaminade (Mo.) quarterback Brady Cook.

Missouri likes Heismeyer as an interior offensive lineman that can play either guard or center.
