COLUMBIA, Mo. – It took only three spring practices for Missouri’s first newcomer to earn his jersey number. That would be freshman wide receiver Dominic Lovett, who sported No. 7 on Tuesday, the same number he wore in 2019 at East St. Louis High School.
The four-star wideout enrolled at Mizzou in January, along with Flyers teammate and quarterback Tyler Macon, and is already getting practice work with the top units.
“He's just been consistent playing with great effort and making plays,” MU coach Eli Drinkwitz said after the full-pads practice. “He made some explosive plays in Friday’s and Saturday’s practice and felt like he had earned the opportunity to wear number seven.
