Trajen Greco Commits to Missouri Football at All-American Bowl

The Tigers maintained their interest in the defensive back for a long time and finally earned his commitment on the afternoon of Jan. 6.

Safety Trajen Greco pledged his commitment to coach Eli Drinkwitz and the Tigers. Greco was the twenty-first commitment in the class of 2024 for the Tigers. 

A consensus 4-star prospect, Greco is the No. 247 composite ranked recruit in the country, as well as the No. 24 safety. He hails from Mill Creek High School in Hoschton, Ga., a small city with about 2,000 reseidents to the northeast of Atlanta. 

At the time of his commitment, Greco was the fourth-highest-ranked recruit in their current class. He's fifth defensive back in their class, as well. With names like Ennis Rakestraw Jr, Kris Abrams-Draine and Jaylon Carlies headed to the NFL, Greco could look to make an immediate impact in a depleted defensive back room.

Greco was committed to Georgia Tech for around five months before decommitting, and ultimately flipping  to Missouri. Greco unofficially visited Columbia on Nov. 18. His other final school was USC. 

Greco's lead recruiter was former defensive coordinator Blake Baker, who departed for the LSU defensive coordinator position just a day before. Greco still committed to the Tigers amid uncertainty.

In the recruiting team rankings, Missouri stays put at No. 24 in the nation. They will more than likely finish with a top-25 class in the country. 

Greco recorded 25 tackles this high school season, as well as two interceptions. He also deflected six passes the past season. Throughout his two seasons as a varsity player, he totaled 86 tackles, seven interceptions and 23 deflections.

Greco could be the final high school recruit the Tigers take on in this class. The primary focus will now shift to the class of 2025 with a variety of prospects to choose from.
