COLUMBIA, Mo. — For the third consecutive year, Missouri will begin a college football season with its starting right tackle wearing No. 79.
Except this time, it’s not Armand Membou.
Keagen Trost has taken both the starting spot and jersey number of the former MU star who was picked seventh overall by the New York Jets in the NFL Draft, and done so in rather smooth fashion.
Trost arrived over the winter from Wake Forest, and by the end of spring practice he’d been penciled in as the starting right tackle. One of the positions that could’ve seen the biggest drop-off in talent was filled quickly for Mizzou.
