Missouri is getting another close look at a familiar face on the recruiting trail — and this time, the stakes are higher. Three-star safety is heading back to Columbia for an official visit, a development that signals the Tigers remain firmly in the mix as his recruitment begins to take shape. After previously spending time on campus and building early relationships with the coaching staff, His return underscores growing mutual interest and suggests Missouri is positioning itself as a legitimate contender for his commitment.
Haskins’ recruitment has quietly gained momentum over the past year. While he may not carry the national hype of a blue-chip prospect, his steady development and consistent on-field performance have drawn attention from several Power Four programs. College staffs value his combination of physicality, football IQ, and positional awareness, and that interest has now translated into official visits — often the most critical phase of the recruiting process.
Missouri securing one of those official visits is particularly significant. The Tigers have made defensive back development a priority and have built a reputation for producing versatile safeties capable of impacting the game in multiple ways. Their defensive scheme emphasizes range, discipline, and physical play, all traits that align well with Haskins’ skill set. That schematic fit has helped Missouri stand out as his options continue to narrow.
During his previous trip to Columbia, Haskins was able to get an early feel for the program, facilities, and overall environment. This return visit offers a deeper dive. Official visits allow for more detailed conversations with the coaching staff, clearer projections of a player’s role, and extended time around current players. For Missouri, it’s a chance to move beyond first impressions and paint a complete picture of what Haskins’ future could look like in black and gold.
On the field, Haskins has built his reputation as a dependable, physical safety who plays with confidence. He shows a willingness to come downhill in run support, maintains discipline in coverage, and displays strong instincts that help him stay a step ahead of developing plays. While he may not always generate flashy statistics, his consistency and positioning are traits that often translate well to the college level.
Those qualities fit Missouri’s recent recruiting approach. The Tigers have shown they are willing to invest in high-upside prospects who may still be developing physically or technically but possess the foundation needed to grow within the program. Haskins fits that mold — a player with clear strengths and room to expand his game under college coaching.
While an official visit does not guarantee an immediate commitment, it often serves as a turning point. Missouri now sits firmly among Haskins’ top options, and a strong visit could elevate the Tigers into a leading position as his recruitment progresses. For Missouri, it’s another opportunity to strengthen its future secondary. For Jordan Haskins, it’s a chance to determine whether Columbia is the place where his next chapter begins.
