Take a guess who two of Missouri’s three leading receivers were.
I’ll give you a hint. It didn’t consist of Emanuel Hall, Jalen Knox or Nate Brown.
Instead, a pair of true freshmen from the Kansas City area shined: tight end Daniel Parker Jr. and slot receiver Dominic Gicinto. The two combined for 121 yards on seven catches and a touchdown in Saturday’s win, while the rest of the Missouri receiving corps — comprised of Johnathon Johnson, Hall, Knox and Richaud Floyd — combined for 113 yards.
“At this point in the year, nobody’s really a freshman that’s played; that’s kind of the approach we take,” Odom said.
