Tight end Michael Egnew, defensive lineman Dominique Hamilton, wide receiver Jerrell Jackson and defensive lineman Jacquies Smith will represent Mizzou. They join top prospects from the Big 12 like Oklahoma State Cowboys wide receiver Justin Blackmon and Baylor Bears quarterback Robert Griffin III, but aren't expected to be picked anywhere near as high as those two blue-chip players.
