"It’s a very nice school," Beckner said. It’s also the only campus he’s visited this summer. "Real nice school. Their facilities, the weight room and when I saw the indoor facility it was nice."

Boehm started all 14 games at center last season, anchoring a Mizzou offensive line that helped produce a rushing game that averaged 237.9 yards per game, ranking second in the SEC and 16th nationally.

#7. Missouri: Veterans returning along the line, at QB and at RB; WRs are deep but lack the one true guy with DBG's departure. Biggest growing pains will be at DL, which lost heavily to the NFL.
