I was curious to see how Missouri would use the former blue chip wide receiver out of East St. Louis. Would he get manufactured touches? Would he line up in the slot? What was the plan?
No, I’m not talking about Luther Burden.
I’m talking about Dominic Lovett. He was a top-50 wide receiver in the 2021 recruiting class. At the time, Lovett was the highest rated receiver to sign with Missouri since Dorial Green-Beckham. He was a massive recruiting win for Eli Drinkwitz. And then Lovett’s freshman year mostly came and went without much fan fare.
