Auburn football commit Kingston Miles has switched his commitment to Missouri after just over three weeks with Auburn. Hailing from St. Mary鈥檚 High School in St. Louis, Miles is one of the top prospects in Missouri, showcasing his skills as both a running back and linebacker. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound athlete has recorded over 2,000 rushing yards and 26 touchdowns this past junior season. He is now the 18th commitment for Missouri鈥檚 2027 recruiting class, marking their first running back addition.

By the Numbers

Bottom Line

The commitment flip underscores a competitive recruiting landscape in college football, urging programs to adapt quickly and strategically to secure top prospects.
