Former Lee’s Summit West lineman wins Mizzou football award ... for his quotes

Before the football season started, Missouri’s offensive linemen expressed frustration and disappointment for being left off the preseason all-SEC teams despite an impressive showing as a unit during the 2017 season.

While postseason all-SEC teams are still a week away from being announced, the unit can no longer say they went home empty-handed this year.

On Wednesday, the local reporters who cover Missouri Tigers athletics picked senior Kevin Pendleton as the 2018 winner of their “Award for Media Tolerance.”

The award goes to the Missouri football player who is considered the go-to quote for beat writers.
