Missouri head coach Dennis Gates works the sideline against Florida during the first half of their quarterfinal game of the SEC Men's Basketball Tournament at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn., Friday, March 14, 2025.

Five-star forward Toni Bryant committed to Missouri for the 2026 class, according to multiple reports, following a commitment from five-star recruit Jason Crowe Jr. to the Tigers over the summer.

The Tigers rebounded from an 0-18 run in SEC play in 2023-24 to a No. 6 seed in the NCAA Tournament and a 22-12 record last season under head coach Dennis Gates.

The 6-foot-9 Bryant attends Zephyrhills Christian Academy in Florida, where he was labeled by ESPN as the No. 4 power forward in the 2026 class. According to 247Sports, Bryant is the No. 21-ranked player in the 2026 class overall and the No. 5 power forward.

Reports had Bryant considering Arizona, North Carolina, NC State, Kansas and Florida State, among others.

Only Florida is considered to have a higher ranked 2026 class so far, with four players already committed.

Players can make their commitment official during the early signing period in November.
