Devyon Hill-Lomax, a three-star wide receiver from Edwardsville, Illinois, will be taking his talents to Columbia, Mo. next fall, according to a post from Hayes Fawcett.
"Ready to be a part of the M I Z family." Hill-Lomax told Fawcett.
Ranked as the 20th best player in the state of Illinois, the 6-foot-5, 200-pound wideout chose Mizzou over Cincinnati, Iowa State, Purdue, Kentucky, and Illinois. Hill-Lomax is the second player from Illinois to commit to the Tigers this week, joining three-star running back Maxwell Warner out of Chicago.
As a junior last season, HIll-Lomax led Edwardsville H.S. with 18 receptions for 341 yards and four touchdowns, while averaging 18.9 yards per catch across nine games.
