COLUMBIA, Mo. — Picture this: Beau Pribula seated in the passenger seat of an upscale car, with Eli Drinkwitz driving. Pribula, available in the transfer portal and visiting Missouri, had thrown for Drinkwitz and the rest of the coaching staff to observe earlier that day.
They talked football and probably a little bit of business, too. Pribula took a rapid-fire string of visits, so there was a lot to for him to soak up, a lot for the coach to pitch when it comes to the Mizzou program. After chatting in the car for a little longer outside the hotel, Drinkwitz dropped off the player he hoped could become his next starting quarterback.
