Cale Garrett is special. He is a very talented football player who single-handedly impacted outcomes of games. Those players are rare. However, due to a torn pectoral tendon, his season must come to an end. This leads us to ask, who is next up for Mizzou football?
Outside of Garrett, it’s arguable that fellow linebacker Nick Bolton has been the best defender on the team. Bolton and Garrett terrorized passers (four interceptions, three returned for touchdowns) and contributed to an elite run defense for Mizzou.
But the question still remains: Who will take over for number 47?
