Missouri's Eli Drinkwitz has been on the lookout for an offensive tackle. He found one who was once positioned to play in the the Tigers' own division.
Mizzou picked up a late addition to its 2021 recruiting class on Wednesday, getting a verbal commitment from former Tennessee signee J’Marion Gooch. The three-star offensive tackle signed with the Volunteers in December but recently asked out of his national letter of intent after the team’s head-coaching change from Jeremy Pruitt to Josh Heupel. Gooch, listed at 6-foot-6 and 330 pounds when he signed with UT, announced his pledge to Mizzou on Twitter, saying he's officially signed with the Tigers.
