COLUMBIA, Mo. — Fall camp No. 6 of Eli Drinkwitz’s Missouri tenure began Sunday like most of his past preseasons have. Players moved into the MU dorm rooms where they’ll bunk for the start of camp practices, and the Tigers’ coach talked about his quarterback battle.
This is the fourth season in which Mizzou will hold a quarterback competition during the preseason, joining the run-ups to the 2020, 2022 and 2023 campaigns. This one, it seems, is down to returner Sam Horn and Penn State transfer Beau Pribula.
Unless it isn’t.
In his camp-opening remarks to reporters Sunday afternoon, Drinkwitz opened up the possibility of the quarterback competition expanding to include true freshman Matt Zollers.
