More reps for the underclassmen! Junior-to-be Kendall Blanton, a potential starter for Missouri at tight end in 2017, will miss spring practice with an ankle injury.
Blanton, a Blue Springs South graduate who will be a junior in the fall, underwent surgery last week to repair torn ligaments resulting from a sprained right ankle.
He was spotted wearing a protective boot on the foot and walking with crutches Tuesday at the Tigers men’s basketball game against No. 11 Kentucky at Mizzou Arena.
Blanton flashed some tantalizing talent as a sophomore last fall.
