Several true freshmen will see the field this season as the year-old redshirt rule allows them to play up to four games and keep their year of eligibility.
But which freshmen could see the beyond the four-game rule?
A number of options appear to be ready for the Mizzou football team this season.
According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, six Mizzou freshmen stand out among the others.
But a few freshmen continue to stick out as likely contributors this season beyond the four-game window. Odom has already singled out tight end Niko Hea and on Tuesday also mentioned wideout Maurice Massey, strong safety Stacy Brown, high safety Martez Manuel, defensive lineman Darius Robinson and offensive lineman Thalen Robinson.
