You know Albert Okwuegbunam, but these tight ends could emerge for Missouri

Tight end is the least of Drew Lock’s worries as Missouri prepares to enter a fall with big implications for the program and head coach Barry Odom.

The Tigers’ quarterback paid heavy compliments to the four-man group after backups Brendan Scales and Logan Christopherson both showed flashes of potential during Saturday’s Black and Gold game, which the offense won 24-0.

Missouri already returns the likes of redshirt sophomore Albert Okwuegbunam and senior Kendall Blanton, a Blue Springs resident, both starters who were integral parts of the offense last season. Okwuegbunam’s 11 touchdowns led the nation at the position, and another strong season could see him leave early for the NFL.
