Which Auburn players had the highest and lowest Pro Football Focus grades vs. Missouri?
Auburn’s 21-17 loss to Missouri Saturday was another in a long line of games it will hope to forget.
Hugh Freeze and his team had chances to win and led by 14 points in the third quarter, but once again found a way to lose.
The team earned a total grade of 65.3, according to Pro Football Focus, its lowest of the season. The offensive performance was the biggest lowlight, earning a grade of just 57.8. PFF graded every single player that played a snap in the game as well.
Here are the highest and lowest-graded players:
Offense
Top 5
- WR Malcolm Simmons 79
- RB Jeremiah Cobb 69.6
- C Connor Lew 64.2
- RB Damari Alston and Jarquez Hunter 63.1
- OL Izavion Miller 62.8
Analysis
Simmons looked like the best offensive player on the field for much of Saturday‘s game, and PFF’s grades reflect that.
Freeze and the offensive staff did a good job of finding creative ways to get Simmons the ball, whether that was through pop passes, reverses or downfield throws.
Auburn’s running game was inconsistent against Missouri, but Cobb had one of his best games of the year. He still only had three touches on offense, but averaged just over 10 yards per touch.
Alston and Hunter never got going with much consistency, but were solid enough to be among the best players in a disappointing day from the offense.
Bottom 5
- Sam Jackson V 41.7
- OL Jeremiah Wright 46.3
- TE Luke Deal 46.6
- TE Rivaldo Fairweather 47.5
- WR Camden Brown 49.7
Analysis
Auburn‘s passing game was never consistently dangerous against Missouri, partly explaining the low grades for the receivers. It’s worth noting, however, that Jackson and Brown only played eight and 11 snaps respectively.
Poor run blocking grades by Deal and Fairweather dinged their total grades and neither made much of an impact as a pass catcher either.
Wright’s grade is a little more interesting. He earned a solid pass blocking grade of 74.8, but his 43.7 run blocking grade and one penalty seemed to be enough to bring his overall grade down into the 40s.
Defense
Top 5
- LB Eugene Asante 77.3
- S Jerrin Thompson 75.9
- DL Quientrail Jamison-Travis 74.6
- CB Jay Crawford 72.1
- S Kaleb Harris 69.8
Analysis
If there is anything positive to take from Auburn’s 2-5 start, it’s that the Tigers have two freshmen in the secondary who can play with anyone.
Crawford and Harris continue to be among Auburn’s highest graded defensive players, even as they face tougher competition. Crawford even finished with the highest tackling grade on the team at 80.7.
Above the freshmen, Auburn’s highest-graded players were its most experienced players, with two of its captains taking the top two spots.
Asante had one of his best games of the year, tallying seven tackles, two sacks, three pressures and a coverage grade of 75.9. Thompson wasn’t far behind with six tackles and a 77.3 coverage grade, the highest on the team.
Bottom 5
- LB Austin Keys 41.3
- DB Keionte Scott 51.5
- LB Dorian Mausi Jr. 51.6
- DL Jayson Jones 54.4
- DL Malik Blocton 56.1
Analysis
Auburn’s experienced players were also among the lowest graded against Missouri, as four of the five on the list are seniors.
Poor tackling was the biggest issue, with three of the five players listed having tackling grades in the 20s. Keys also had Auburn’s lowest coverage grade of the season at 45.1
Overall, Auburn‘s linebackers combined for an average grade of 60, not ideal for one of the team‘s most experienced position groups.

Job Point YouthBuild participants demonstrated their construction skills and shared their personal stories at the Missouri Capitol in Jefferson City on April 21.
The event, hosted by the Missouri YouthBuild Coalition, brought together trainees, staff and partners from across the state, according to a community announcement. The day included hands-on construction demonstrations, youth-led advocacy and opportunities for participants to engage with policymakers.
A hands-on project
Trainees spent the morning constructing the framework of walls and portable chairs in teams, demonstrating the skills they are developing through YouthBuild programs in Columbia, St. Joseph and Cape Girardeau. At the end of the day, they assembled the walls to create a room, symbolizing the collaboration among trainees from different regions.
“It was a very good day. We had to build the chairs over there. I did a little measurement, cutting, all of that,” one Job Point YouthBuild student said in the announcement.
The experience highlighted not only technical skills, but also the importance of teamwork and communication, according to the announcement.
“Working together as a team, putting things together was exquisite. Communication was key,” another student shared in the announcement.
Sharing personal journeys
The event also provided a platform for participants to share their personal journeys. Many YouthBuild participants have faced significant barriers, including interruptions in education and limited access to employment opportunities. Through programs like Job Point’s YouthBuild, they are reconnecting with education, gaining workforce certifications and building pathways to meaningful careers, according to the announcement.
For students, the experience of participating in a statewide event and demonstrating their abilities in such a visible setting was both affirming and inspiring.
“I loved it! I had a great time. We built chairs. It was a good experience,” another participant said in the announcement.
Jerrell Morton, director of Job Point’s YouthBuild, emphasized the importance of visibility. Morton said in the announcement, “At its core, this day is about visibility — showing lawmakers, community leaders and the public what these young people are capable of. Our students aren’t just learning skills — they’re building confidence, leadership and a vision for their future.”
Addressing workforce needs
The event also highlighted the broader need for investment in workforce development initiatives like YouthBuild at the state level. Across Missouri, employers continue to report unfilled jobs and growing skills gaps. YouthBuild programs are helping to address that challenge by equipping young adults with practical training, work experience and the tools needed to succeed in high-demand industries such as construction, healthcare, IT and manufacturing.
For Job Point, participation in the event reinforced its commitment to empowering opportunity youth to overcome barriers, reclaim their education and achieve self-sufficiency and economic stability, according to the announcement.
“It’s a great experience. I love Job Point,” another student reflected in the announcement.
As the day concluded, trainees left with a new sense of confidence after meeting with their state representatives, senators and their staffers and standing up on the Missouri House and Senate floors, according to the announcement.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Missouri Supreme Court issued opinions Tuesday in two cases concerning the state’s latest redistricting map.
Both opinions found the map meets constitutional requirements. As it is already in effect, it will stay in effect.
“Today’s Missouri Supreme Court rulings are a huge victory for voters,” Gov. Mike Kehoe said in a statement. “Missourians are more alike than we are different, and our Missouri values — rooted in common sense, hard work, and personal responsibility — are stronger and far more aligned across both sides of the aisle than the extreme left-wing agendas pushed in states like New York, California, and Illinois. The Missouri First Map ensures those values are represented fairly and accurately at every level of government. This August, Missouri voters will head to the ballot box to vote for candidates in these newly drawn districts.”
The opinion in Elizabeth Healey, et al. v. State of Missouri, et al. stated residents failed to meet the burden required by Missouri law to demonstrate the map was unconstitutional.
This case raised an issue with Article III, Section 45 of the Missouri Constitution, which states that districts “shall be comprised of contiguous territory as compact and as nearly equal in population as may be.” But the court found the concerned residents were unable to prove the “legislature improperly deviated from the directives of article III, section 45.”
The second lawsuit, Jake Maggard, et al. v. State of Missouri, et al., took issue with which map was currently in effect. Residents gathered signatures they believed should stop the new map from going into effect until put before Missouri voters.
However, the court ruled unanimously that nothing in the constitution allows a referendum petition alone to automatically suspend legislation. It has yet to be determined if the referendum petition filing was “legal, sufficient and timely,” per the opinion.
Additional redistricting cases remain ongoing.
NAACP, et al. v. Kehoe will go before the Missouri Supreme Court on May 27. This case argues the governor didn’t have the power to call the “extraordinary session” in which the new redistricting map was adopted.
Additionally, People Not Politicians v. Hoskins will go before a judge in July. Though in a lower court, this case concerns the validity of the signatures people gathered to force a statewide vote on the map.
