COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri added some high-grade weapons to the passing game in 2021, but Eli Drinkwitz still leaned heavily on his trusted veterans at the wide receiver positions. Three upperclassmen from the receiver group saw the field the most last fall, Keke Chism (757 snaps) and Tauskie Dove (687) on the outside, and Barrett Banister (317) in the slot.
This year, the Tigers will continue to blend young and old. Dove is back for his fifth season at Mizzou. Banister returns for a sixth year. Four sophomores who each showed bursts last fall will be part of the mix.
