COLUMBIA, Mo. — Two spots in the trenches are up for grabs.
Most positions in Missouri’s offensive depth chart are solidified — nobody is doubting Brady Cook’s status as the starting quarterback, for example. But the left side of the offensive line has yet to be so clearly determined.
“It’s wide open,” coach Eli Drinkwitz said. “Our No. 1 core value is ‘always compete,’ and that’s whether you’re a returning starter or whether you’re a transfer. Whoever’s coming in to give me the best five and the most consistent is going to be the starters.”
The race for who will start at left guard and left tackle was an expected one heading into preseason camp.
