Spring practice kicked off this week in Columbia, with eight players from Mizzou’s 2024 recruiting class joining for the early session. These mid-year enrollees arrive early to begin their studies of college playbooks and film, and begin transforming their bodies with access to college dining and athletic facilities.
But they will also get an early shot to impress the coaches and compete for playing time in the upcoming campaign. The 2024 recruit most likely to play significant snaps this season is all-galaxy defensive lineman Williams Nwaneri, who will arrive in the summer, but can we expect these eight players to force Eli Drinkwitz and his staff to get them onto the field this fall?
