A Mizzou fan favorite is moving on — but maybe not forever.
L’Damian Washington, a prolific wide receiver during the Gary Pinkel years and most recently Eli Drinkwitz’s director of player development, has accepted a job as the new wide receivers coach at Southern University.
The position came open recently and Washington quickly heard from Zach Grossi, the team’s offensive coordinator. Washington, 30, played for the Tigers from 2010-13, catching 100 passes for 1,735 yards and 15 touchdowns.
Washington bounced around several NFL teams and was a starter just last year for the XFL’s St. Louis BattleHawks before the league folded.
