When’s the last time Missouri returned two cornerbacks coming off the kind of season DeMarkus Acy and Christian Holmes put together in 2018? It’s been a while.
Acy and Holmes combined for five interceptions and 22 pass breakups. Acy is the more experienced of the two and after earning second-team All-SEC honors last year, he’s showing up on more preseason All-SEC teams, including third-team honors in the media’s team at SEC media days. Acy had a rough night in the Liberty Bowl against Oklahoma State, but remember, in MU’s worst defensive game, Acy was sidelined with a head injury suffered on the first series at Purdue.
