This Missouri linebacker adopted Kobe Bryant’s trash-talking strategy, with a twist

In the days leading up to a Missouri football game, a lot of Terez Hall’s prep is similar to most players. He watches film. He practices against the scout team. He also sifts through his opponents’ social media accounts to fuel his trash-talking game.

The past few years, the senior linebacker has been spending part of his time to investigate the players he’ll go against on Saturdays.

“That sounds like something he would do,” Tigers junior linebacker Cale Garrett said.

Hall hasn’t heard of many Missouri players following his lead. He got the idea from NBA legend Kobe Bryant, who used to read newspapers to learn more about opponents.
