COLUMBIA, Mo. — Twenty years ago Arnold Britt was part of Mizzou football’s first recruiting class under Gary Pinkel and four years later entrenched himself in MU trivia when he caught the first pass of Chase Daniel’s record-breaking career in 2005.
A generation later Britt plays a major role in the life of Mizzou’s newest wide receiver.
Teriyon Cooper, known since he was a baby as Mookie, transferred from Ohio State to MU this month. The former four-star recruit began his first week of classes Tuesday and could become a pivotal addition to Eli Drinkwitz’s offense this fall.
