Nate Howard’s time at Missouri is officially over meaning the Tigers must now focus on finding another defensive end to take pressure off Marcell Frazier.
Howard was dismissed from the team Thursday after a series of brushes with the law.
Howard posted a farewell message on Twitter.
The new question for Mizzou’s defense: What’s next?
Although Howard was limited to four games last year due to injury, he was viewed as a potential starter along the defensive front. The former three-star recruit had signed with Missouri in the class of 2015 from St. Louis Ladue Horton Watkins High School.
