COLUMBIA, MO. • We’re one day closer to Mizzou’s first preseason practice — the Tigers open camp at 9:30 Friday morning — and while we take a closer look at the most important players on the offense, it’s worth wondering, what can Albert Okwuegbunam do for an encore?
As a redshirt freshman, the tight end from Springfield, Ill., was a revelation for the Tigers last fall, sharing the SEC lead with 11 touchdown catches. Only three players in team history have caught more TDs in one season: Danario Alexander (14), Jeremy Maclin (13) and Bud Sasser (12).
