If you watched any amount of Mizzou football last year, you probably had a feeling Eli Drinkwitz would look to upgrade at receiver after taking the job.
Last year was just the second time since 2005 the Tigers failed to have a wide receiver finish the season with at least 500 yards. With so little returning production at such an important position, Drinkwitz immediately went to work to find some proven commodities.
Suddenly, a team with zero receivers on the roster boasting more than 750 career receiving yards found two of them on the open market. Drinkwitz’s first target was former Virginia Tech receiver Damon Hazelton.
