Missouri State football has added another Texas-based prospect to its 2025 high school recruiting class.
Braxton Starnes, a 6-foot-3, 200-pound linebacker, announced his commitment to the Bears on Tuesday afternoon.
Starnes is coming off a season in which he was named the Texas District 9-4A-II MVP at Hamshire-Fannett, where he caught 64 passes for 1,051 yards and 15 touchdowns as a wide receiver. According to a social media post from when he was given his Missouri State offer, he will join the Bears as a linebacker.
The Bears had been in contact with Starnes since April before safeties coach Tramain Thomas offered him last week. Defensively, he made 76 solo tackles, with 51 being solo and six for a loss.
Starnes is the fourth recruit out of Texas to commit to the Bears this month. He’s the second linebacker out of the Houston area the Bears have landed, joining Iowa Colony linebacker-safety hybrid Hayden Caston.
