A late get in the recruiting process for Mizzou who gives the Tigers one of the biggest and most highly-coveted offensive line prospects in the Midwest ... Was a bit of a late bloomer on the recruiting circuit, due to the fact that he was a basketball player primarily and didn't come out for football until late in his junior year in high school (played in only one game as a junior after being recruited to join the football team by the team's quarterback, after seeing him workout one day) ... Basketball skills have helped give him good footwork, which helps make him full of potential for growth as a developing talent ... Rivals.com ranks him as the No. 40 overall prospect (any position) out of the state of Ohio, and as the nation's No. 56 offensive tackle prospect ... Scout.com ranks him as the nation's No. 34 offensive tackle prospect ... ESPN.com lists him as the nation's No. 48-ranked offensive tackle prospect, and calls him a skyscraper with very powerful hands who is a perfect fit for a spread offense ... Earned All-Conference honors as a senior as he continued to learn about the nuances of offensive line play in his first full season on the gridiron ... High school coach - Maurice Douglass ... Parents - Mike & Tisha Freeman ... Had numerous scholarship offers from which to choose, and eventually chose Mizzou over Colorado, Florida, Nebraska, Michigan, Oregon, West Virginia, UCLA, Wisconsin, Tennessee and Oklahoma, among others ... MU primary recruiting coach - Cornell Ford. |
