Missour’s single biggest need at the end of last season was so obvious even the most casual of Mizzou fans could see it. The Tigers have one returning linebacker who showed consistent play throughout the 2021 season, and that’s Chad Bailey. Blaze Alldredge is out of eligibility, and the Tigers had no obvious internal candidates to replace his production.
Crisis averted.
Reports surfaced on Thursday that former Florida linebacker Ty’Ron Hopper will transfer to Missouri. If the last name sounds familiar, that’s probably because Hopper’s cousin, Tyrone, announced three weeks ago he would be transferring from North Carolina to Mizzou.
