Tyler Howell brings JUCO pedigree and upside to Missouri’s offensive line
Howell entered Missouri as a **three-star junior-college prospect**, with Rivals ranking him among the top JUCO offensive linemen in the country, which signals real developmental upside rather than just depth-chart filler.[2] His combine-style testing shows functional athleticism for the position—most notably a **5.05-second 40-yard dash**, a **4.69 shuttle**, and a **31.6-inch vertical**—suggesting he can move well in space and fit an offense that values linemen who can climb, recover, and play with mobility.[1] If you want a line prospect with proven recruiting respect and movement skills, Howell is worth watching.[2][1]
