What seemed improbable two months ago — around the time Bryant announced his intent to transfer from Clemson — became reality. Bryant, a former four-star quarterback recruit who went 16-2 in 18 starts at Clemson, picked Missouri over Auburn and Mississippi State and Arkansas and maybe even schools like Florida and Oregon, which at least expressed interest.
This is a big get for Missouri, but not because Bryant will suddenly become an All-American quarterback or a Heisman contender or a first-round draft pick. At Clemson, he showed himself to be a versatile, effective and efficient quarterback through the air and a solid threat on the ground.
