Mizzou fielded three scholarship defensive backs against Florida due to injuries on the depth chart. Safety Daylan Carnell was the emergency fourth option, but that won’t have to be the case this Saturday.
“It’s a big deal,” fellow defensive back Ennis Rakestraw, Jr. said on getting Abrams-Draine back. “The type of guy he is, all the youngers guys look up to me and him.”
Abrams-Draine has been having a breakout season with 14 tackles and 5 pass breakups so far. However, his on-field play has only been a part of it.
“Kris has done a great job over the course of this season taking more of a vocal role as a leader,” Defensive Coordinator Blake Baker said.
