COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri linebacker Khalil Jacobs and defensive end Joe Moore III will both miss the rest of the 2024 season with injuries, coach Eli Drinkwitz said Tuesday.
The losses of two established rotational defensive players will further test the Tigers' depth on that side of the ball.
Jacobs, who transferred in over the offseason from South Alabama on the heels of defensive coordinator Corey Batoon, has played 139 defensive snaps so far this season, appearing in every game. Jacobs' athleticism made him a natural fit in Mizzou's third-down packages. As a blitzer, he registered two sacks and five total pressures of opposing quarterbacks.
