Toni Bryant is a 6-9 power forward from Southeastern Prep in Orlando, Florida, whose rapid rise to the top 20 nationally is notable given that he did not play basketball for most of his early life. Originally from the Tampa area, Bryant averaged 13.3 points and 5.8 rebounds on the Puma Pro16 circuit and was selected as a 2026 McDonald's All-American. He committed to Missouri on November 12, 2025, becoming the third-highest-rated commit in program history behind only Michael Porter Jr. and classmate Jason Crowe Jr., and one of two future Tigers on the McDonald's roster — a first in school history. Bryant chose the Tigers and coach Dennis Gates, who had offered him in May 2024 as one of the program's earliest major targets.
