Missouri needs freshman help at WR, DE, and DT for another SEC East run

WR DeSean Blair, 6-3/190, RFr.: Missouri’s receiving corps is in need of a major rebuilding job with the losses it suffered from last season. That’s a well-known story line by now. Out of the group of redshirt freshman receivers who the Tigers need to step up this season, Blair seemed to get the most consideration during spring drills. He exited the Black & Gold Game neck-and-neck with sophomore J’Mon Moore for a starting spot and should get every opportunity to continue competing for it over 19 fall practices. Even if Moore, Wesley Leftwich and Nate Brown lock Blair out of a starting spot, he could still be a valuable fourth receiver for the Tigers, a role they sorely missed last season after Bud Sasser and Jimmie Hunt shared it in 2013.
