Kyler Kuhn, one of the nation’s top offensive linemen in 2027, is ready to begin cutting down his list and taking the next steps in his recruitment.
On Friday, the St. Pius X (Mo.) star announced his top five schools: Nebraska, Missouri, Oregon, Penn State and Iowa. The list primarily has a regional flare to it, but the Ducks have been in heavily on top recruits in the area over the past few years, with Dan Lanning’s strong connections to the Kansas City area.

Coaches from each of his top five schools visited Kuhn last month at his school, hoping to make their move into his list of top programs.
The in-state Tigers hosted him for their junior day event last month as well, and Eli Drinkwitz and Co. continue to make a strong impression.
“Just getting to spend time with the entire staff was awesome,” Kuhn told MizzouToday. “I love how involved every position coach is with every recruit. Other schools, I probably know the O-line coach, the head coach and maybe my area recruiter. But I know most of the staff, because they’re so involved with every athlete.”

Missouri signed two of the state’s top three offensive linemen last cycle, missing out on Five-Star Plus+ offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell. The year prior, they also landed four-star Jack Lange, the No. 1 recruit inside the borders.

If they’re going to get Kuhn and continue that tradition, they’ll have to fend off some of the country’s heavyweight offensive line coaches.
This developing story will be updated.
