Commute: Mizzou Head Coach Eli Drinkwitz Named to Dodd Trophy Preseason Watch List

Today we’re talking about Eli Drinkwitz

It must be that time of year for preseason watch lists. On Monday, the Dodd Trophy announced their preseason watch list candidates for 26 head coaches.

For the second year in a row, Mizzou Head Coach Eli Drinkwitz is one of the candidates.

Drinkwitz is one of eight SEC coaches on the watchlist joining Mike Elko (Texas A&M), Kalen Deboer (Alabama), Josh Heupel (Tennessee), Brian Kelly (LSU), Steve Sarkisian (Texas), Kirby Smart (Georgia), and Brett Venables (Oklahoma).

After clinching back-to-back 10-win seasons for the program for the first time since 2013-2014, this marks a well-deserved recognition for Eli Drinkwitz.
