Kim Berkstresser got a text from her son Thursday afternoon.
Corbin Berkstresser, Missouri’s 6-foot-3, 220-pound senior quarterback, had performed well in limited duty during the Tigers’ scrimmage earlier in the day, throwing a 55-yard touchdown pass to Jake Brents.
But that’s not why he texted his mother.
"He said he blocked a punt," Kim said. "So he was really excited."
Corbin had busted through a wedge of blockers during Missouri’s special teams drills before the scrimmage started, swiping at freshman Corey Fatony’s foot and sending the ball wobbling off.
Corbin Berkstresser's mom, Kim, told me Corbin does the #Mizzou football workouts every day, then does Navy SEAL training for 2-3 hours.
