Missouri’s standout defensive line just lost two key players. New coach Jackie Shipp will be working under big expectations with a noticebly thinner roster.
Former freshman All-American Walter Brady, one half of Missouri’s dynamic defensive pass rush from last year has been dismissed from the team for “violating undisclosed team policies”. Brady was forced to sit out of any team activities his true freshman year due to being academically ineligible to play but came on strong last year with seven sacks opposite Charles Harris. Brady missed one practice during spring football and suffered a knee injury during Missouri’s spring game but was otherwise cleared to play.
