Mizzou Football 2025 Award Watch List Tracker

The Missouri Tigers don't have much preseason hype surrounding them, being predicted by members of the media to finish 12th in the Southeastern Conference this season.

With new players stepping in to replace starters at crucial positions like quarterback, running back, wide receiver, three spots along the offense line, edge rusher and more, the Tigers will have to earn respect on the field.

"Every year, your team starts over, and you have to start over," head coach Eli Drinkwitz said at a press conference ahead of fall camp practices. "As a coach, I think from establishing the bonds of your team, the rules of your team, the culture of your team, I think every year you just have to understand it starts over and you repeat the process."
