Mizzou receiver Mookie Cooper's season over after surgery, Luther Burden III to walk on senior day

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri wide receiver Mookie Cooper’s college career is likely over after undergoing season-ending surgery.

The fifth-year wideout posted on Instagram Tuesday morning that he’d completed a successful surgery, and Tigers coach Eli Drinkwitz confirmed the implications of Cooper’s procedure later in the day.

"Obviously, Mookie's a very special player to us and to myself," Drinkwitz said. "Came here (as) a transfer and again, one of those guys who came and chose Mizzou when we needed him the most."
