Tigers four-star commit Keiran Govan joins The MizzouToday Show

On the latest episode of The MizzouToday Show, Missouri football commit Keiran Govan joined the program to detail his decision to pledge to the Tigers at OT7, how to approach an accelerated recruitment and what makes safeties coach Jacob Yoro the perfect fit. Govan previously wanted to wait until July to announce a commitment, but Missouri forced his hand. While asked to play safety for Midwest BOOM, the Class of 2027 four-star also got hit with another question: “Are you ready to make a decision anytime soon?” “Mizzou was really home,” Govan said. “I knew that from the start. It was a really big thing for me, and I was like, ‘Dude, why not? Let’s just do it right now.’ I wanted to go take some [official visits], but there’s no point in OVs when you got Mizzou.” The MizzouToday Show: Spotify Apple Podcasts The Republic (Mo.) safety also discussed recruiting Southwest Missouri and the overall talent in the 2027 class. The eighth-ranked prospect in the Show-Me State credited five-star Miami offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell for putting the region more under the microscope. “That’s what helped me get all of my recruitment,” said Govan, who ended a drought of Republic products to Missouri. “He had coaches coming down here. They’re watching me when we played him, and he really helped us there. I feel like I’m going to help a lot this season. These big colleges are going to be like, ‘These guys are dogs.’ They’re going to come get us.”
