COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri edge rusher Darris Smith will miss the entire 2024 season after suffering a knee injury during Tuesday's practice.
The nature of the junior defensive end's injury is not known, but it will keep him sidelined for the full season, the program said Wednesday.
"We are devastated by the injury to Darris," Mizzou coach Eli Drinkwitz said in a statement. "He was having an outstanding camp and was poised to have a great year. We will support Darris in his recovery and look forward to him returning stronger than before."
Losing the Georgia transfer is a preseason blow to the Tigers' defense, which seemed likely to feature Smith as one its more dangerous pass rushers off the edge.
