I think you are missing quite a few. Going back to the 80s I can think of the following:

Raymond Hairston (Central) - Mizzou (started games)
Roland Young (Central) - Mizzou (started games but suffered bad injury)
Joe Close (Parkview) - Mizzou (started games)
Kevin Parsons (Glendale) - Nebraska (all-conference player)
Sean Moore (Central) -Mizzou (started games)
Charles Johnson (Central) - Mizzou (never played but was a talent)
Peanut Adams (Central) - Arkansas (washed out as QB but started some games at DB)
Phil Johnson (Kickapoo) - Mizzou (all-conference player but suffered bad injury…played in CFL I believe)
Matt Pearce (Kickapoo) - Mizzou (started games)
Matt Burgess (Parkview) - Mizzou (started games)
Aaron Newton (Kickapoo) -Wyoming (injured I believe and never played)
Travis Shipman (Kickapoo) - UCLA (don’t think ever played)
Steve Warren (Kickapoo) - Nebraska (all-conference and maybe all-american…NFL player)
Jeff McCracken (Kickapoo) - Iowa (never played)
Greg Helming (Kickapoo) - Nebraska (got injured I think)
DGB

I’m sure I’m missing some but that’s not a bad list…several guys who not only signed with big schools but played quite a bit. Does seem like it’s really dropped off in recent years though.
