COLUMBIA, MO. • With two open positions along Missouri’s offensive line, returning center Trystan Colon-Castillo would like to make clear two truths about one of the candidates, sophomore guard Larry Borom.
1. He’s every bit as big as his listed size of 6 feet 6 and 340 pounds.
“That’s kind of like a shocker for the outside world,” left tackle Yasir Durant added.
The Tigers are adding a gargantuan but swift man-child along the front five — unless the position’s other contender has something to say about the competition. As the Tigers evaluate candidates to replace three-year offensive line starters Paul Adams and Kevin Pendleton, one of the spring’s prime position battles has matched Borom against sophomore Case Cook.
