Seven Missouri football players earned preseason all-conference recognition from the Southeastern Conference’s 14 head coaches.
Quarterback Drew Lock, tight end Albert Okwuegbunam and punter Corey Fatony each landed on the coaches’ preseason All-SEC first team. Defensive tackle Terry Beckner Jr. received a spot on the second team. Wide receiver Emanuel Hall, defensive back DeMarkus Acy and kicker Tucker McCann are part of the third team.
Missouri’s seven selections on the coaches’ preseason all-conference teams, which came out Thursday afternoon, are the fifth-most of any team in the league. Georgia leads the conference with 12 selections, while Alabama has 10, Auburn has nine and Mississippi State has eight.
