As Drew Lock walked across the footbridge that connects Faurot Field to the Missouri Athletic Training Complex, two people in a beige Ford Taurus eagerly awaited his arrival.
Missouri had just finished its last spring football practice before spring break, and Lock stepped off the bridge and began loading his white truck with his belongings. The Ford inched closer to Lock, and its trunk popped open, spilling multiple Missouri football helmets onto the ground.
“It’s him,” the car’s driver yelled to its passenger. “Go!”
Two young men ran out of the car. They began grabbing helmets and markers for Lock.
