Missouri didn’t hire Houston offensive line coach Brandon Jones for the exclusive purpose to land former Cougars All-AAC guard Cam’Ron Johnson... But I wouldn’t have blamed them if they did.
We’ve been discussing the prospects of a Houston reunion in Columbia for Jones and Johnson for more than a month, and it appears as if our wish has been granted. This is obviously great news for the Tigers. Mizzou needed an infusion of talent along the interior of the offensive line, and Johnson was arguably the best interior lineman available in the transfer portal. He only allowed one sack in 556 pass-blocking snaps last season, according to Pro Football Focus.
