COLUMBIA, Mo. Every time John Stull drives by Memorial Stadium or catches a Mizzou game on television, he wonders what could have been.
“I think about unfinished business,” he said. “It’s hard for me. I had a great passion for football.”
And he threw it all away. John Stull is 27 years old. In 2005, he was an all-state defensive end at Rock Bridge High School in Columbia. In 2006, he joined the Missouri football team. In 2007, he played in 12 games as a backup. In 2008, perhaps, he’d become a starter and the next great player in Mizzou’s legacy of defensive linemen.
