Missouri continued their in-state onslaught on Monday with the commitment of local Rock Bridge (Mo.) defensive end Jalen Logan-Redding.

"I want to do great things and that's the reason I chose Mizzou," Logan-Redding said of his decision. "I see them doing great things in developing me into a player. Brick Haley, that's the defensive line coach I want to develop me into the defensive lineman that I want to be."

While his commitment went public today, the 6-foot-4, 225-pound prospect had his mind made up for a while already.

"I've been committed for about two weeks to a month now," he noted. "The coaches were really excited because I've been holding out for a while and they were looking at these other recruits, but they really wanted me."

The three-star prospect is Missouri's 13th 2020 commitment and the fourth defensive lineman - joining Kevon Billingsley of East St. Louis (Ill.), Cooper Davis of Viera (Fla.), and Robert Wooten of Stafford (Tex.).

Logan-Redding is also the second Rock Bridge (Mo.) commitment for the Tigers in this year's class, joining inside linebacker and teammate Will Norris.

Missouri is expected to take 1-2 more defensive lineman in it's 2020 class.
