COLUMBIA, Mo. — Before kicking off what he hopes to be his first full session of spring practices at Missouri, second-year football coach Eli Drinkwitz met with reporters Tuesday on Zoom to preview the spring, officially welcome some staff additions and share some roster updates. MU’s first spring practice is Friday with the spring game set for March 20.
• Drinkwitz has hired Tulsa cornerbacks coach Aaron Fletcher to replace David Gibbs, who last week left to join Gus Malzahn’s staff at UCF. Fletcher spent the last six years at Tulsa and also has strong connections to the high school scene in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
