COLUMBIA, Mo. - The winter semester started last week at Missouri, but Eli Drinkwitz continues to bolster his roster with transfers for the 2022 season. On Sunday, former Auburn defensive lineman Ian Mathews committed to the Tigers after a weekend visit to Columbia. Mathews, a former three-star recruit, did not appear in any games at Auburn as a freshman this past season.
Mathews, a native of Columbus, Georgia, announced his pledge on social media. Listed last fall at 6-foot-4, 287 pounds, Mathews is Mizzou's 11th transfer addition since the end of the 2021 season.
MU's weekend haul didn't end there.
