Mizzou’s linebacking corps was certainly not lacking for talent, that’s for sure. Between Chuck Hicks and Triston’s Newson’s flash in backup roles last year, and Corey Flagg’s experience at the P5 level, Mizzou has a starting three ready to go. Plus there are two blue chip freshmen coming in, and some redshirts ready to roll for their first full season. But proven depth? Yeah, that was a little bit of an issue.
So, of course, Eli Drinkwitz hit the portal and brought on about as perfect of a fit as this team could find.
Because of course he did!
