One Mizzou player slept in the locker room during fall camp. He happens to be a starter, too.
Summary
- Florida transfer Naeshaun Montgomery earned first-team X-receiver status after being one of Missouri's most improved players from spring through fall camp, pairing speed with strong hands and consistent practice production.
- Eli Drinkwitz expects Montgomery to rank among Missouri's top four or five receivers by snap count. Quarterback Austin Simmons has an established rapport with him, and Montgomery made several high-end catches in closed scrimmages.
- Missouri rebuilt the receiver room with Montgomery, Cayden Lee and Cincinnati transfer Caleb Goodie while retaining Donovan Olugbode, Shaun Terry II and DaMarion Fowlkes. The goal is to correct a passing offense that ranked last in the SEC and 104th nationally in 2025.
- The offensive bet is that Simmons, new coordinator Chip Lindsey and quarterbacks coach Garrett Riley can add a credible downfield complement to Missouri's efficient run game; Arkansas-Pine Bluff provides the first look before higher-leverage SEC games.
