Missouri’s offensive linemen can complain no more.
After showing disappointment in the preseason for having no representatives on the preseason all-Southeastern Conference teams, the program’s lone all-SEC first-team representative was an offensive lineman. Junior Tre’Vour Wallace-Simms was chosen to the Associated Press’ all-SEC first team on Monday with quarterback Drew Lock and defensive tackle Terry Beckner Jr. making the second team. Wallace-Simms and Beckner Jr. were teammates at East St. Louis High School.
Wallace-Simms didn’t give up a sack all season and was part of a unit that opened up holes for 1,000-yard rusher Larry Rountree III and Damarea Crockett, who enters MU’s bowl game 300 yards shy of the same mark.
