DGB shocks the experts
February, 1, 2012
10:18AM ET

Virtually every recruiting insider projected five-star wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham (Springfield, Mo./Hillcrest) to be a Razorback. However, the nation’s premier skill position prospect announced his intention to sign with Missouri Wednesday at 10:15 a.m. ET live on ESPN.

Alabama, Oklahoma and Texas were also in the mix for Green-Beckham, the No. 3 player in the ESPNU 150 and top uncommitted prospect heading into signing day.

Arguably the nation’s most coveted 2012 recruit, Green-Beckham also picked up scholarship offers from LSU, USC, Ohio State, Florida, Notre Dame, Auburn, Michigan, Missouri, Ole Miss, Oklahoma State, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa and Miami-FL among several others.

The 6-foot-6, 220-pounder caught 300 passes for a national-record 6,353 yards (21.2 average) and 75 touchdowns during his high school career. As a senior, Green-Beckham completely dominated his competition posting 119 receptions, 2,233 yards (18.8 average) and 24 touchdowns.

Once his faxed arrives in Columbia, Green-Beckham will become the highest-rated signee for Missouri in the ESPNU 150 era.
