COLUMBIA, Mo. — One curious omission from the preseason All-Southeastern Conference team was the wide receiver who led Missouri in targets, catches and yards in 2022 and earned postseason All-SEC honors as one of the league’s breakout playmakers. Dominic Lovett might have sacrificed individual honors for team success when he swapped Tiger stripes for Georgia black and red, but his former team isn’t sweating his departure.
In fact, when Mizzou coach Eli Drinkwitz arrived at SEC media days last week in Nashville, he said wide receiver is “by far the deepest, most competitive position on our team” — thanks to some offseason reinforcements and another expected breakthrough.
