Lual Aleu Sets Visits Before Signing Day
The three-star Cincinnati Winton Woods tackle has scheduled official visits as he weighs options after decommitting from Missouri.
Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in Football

Three-star offensive tackle Lual Aleu of Cincinnati Winton Woods has set official visits with multiple schools ahead of Signing Day, one month away. The move follows his decommitment from Missouri earlier this past month, after he had announced a commitment to the Tigers on March 9.
Why it matters
Aleu's recruitment is open again with Signing Day approaching, which gives Cincinnati-area programs and other suitors a late chance to land a highly regarded local lineman. His ranking and offer list show that his decision remains one of the more notable open recruitments in the region.
Aleu is ranked No. 86 nationally among offensive tackles and No. 47 overall among Ohio players in the class of 2027, and holds more than 20 scholarship offers. The extraction does not specify which programs are hosting his official visits or where he will ultimately sign.

Lual Aleu
Lual Aleu is a three-star offensive tackle from Cincinnati Winton Woods and one of the top-ranked prospects in Ohio for the class of 2027.
The details
Aleu, who stands 6-foot-5 and weighs 300 pounds, announced his commitment to Missouri on March 9 before backing away from that pledge this past month.

Season Trajectory
Aleu's open recruitment comes as the class of 2027 approaches Signing Day, when late decommitments can reshape the offensive line depth charts of programs across the country. His national and state rankings place him among the higher-profile linemen still available to schools in the Midwest and beyond.
Aleu's final destination will determine where he plays in the fall, so Cincinnati-area fans tracking local recruits will see his pick shape the region's college football rosters. Any school that lands him gains a 6-foot-5, 300-pound tackle with national ranking support.
The takeaway
Recruiting commitments are not final until Signing Day, and decommitments can reopen a prospect's market quickly. Readers following Ohio recruiting should watch Aleu's official visit results as the signing period approaches.
