Back in June, I listed what I felt were Missouri’s five most important players heading into 2017. No. 4 was Marcell Frazier, the Tigers’ only known quantity at defensive end. By all accounts, he’s taking on increased leadership quite well.
A great connection with first-year defensive line coach Brick Haley has allowed Frazier to take the next step and get after the quarterback, something he did very well over the final three games last season, registering 6.5 sacks and 7.5 tackles for loss during that span. For Frazier, he wants to continue the tradition of great play from Mizzou's D-Line while using his leadership to help a young group buy into what #DLineZOU is all about.
