The 2016 Missouri Tigers walkthrough series

How many redshirts come off?

Both need and talent could lead Missouri to play multiple freshmen on the O-line in 2016.

Bailey’s first college snap could be as Mizzou starter

Three young returnees could join the Missouri offensive line rotation this fall, though two (AJ Harris, Tanner Owen) are working through injury issues at the moment.

MU Camp Notebook: The OL is sick of the criticism

News, notes and quotes from the Missouri Tigers' Monday practice.

Mizzou will start at least one JUCO transfer up front

Missouri will likely turn to JUCO transfer to fill in at least one starting spot in 2016. How might Tyler Howell and Kyle Mitchell fare?

“Veteran” linemen have plenty to prove

We’ve heard a lot about the upside of Mizzou linemen like Kevin Pendleton, Paul Adams, and Alec Abeln, yet they evidently weren’t regarded well enough to see the field for a line desperate for help.

Will a third TE see the field? And who?

Missouri is blessed with experience at tight end but doesn’t boast enough proven quality to write off a young tight end seeing the field. Can Brendan Scales, Kendall Blanton, or Albert Okwuegbunam carve out a niche in fall camp?

Missouri RB arrested, suspended

Is 2016 the breakout for Jason Reese?

Injury slowed Jason Reese’s progress in 2015 after a couple of promising games. Can a healthy Reese become the go-to efficiency option the Missouri offense so desperately needs?

Last chance, Sean Culkin

It’s tight end Sean Culkin’s last chance to prove himself as an offensive leader for the Missouri Tigers. Can he?

Mizzou has so many damn receivers

If they have their act together, any of Missouri’s WR newcomers -- Johnathon Johnson, Justin Smith, Richaud Floyd, Dominic Collins, Dimetrios Mason -- could see the field quickly, but they’ll have to distinguish themselves in a crowded field.

Time to turn potential into production

Everywhere you look, Missouri’s got a young WR with huge potential. Who steps up: Keyon Dilosa? Emanuel Hall? DeSean Blair? Ray Wingo?

Chris Black could be vital (if healthy)

An efficient, oft-injured slot receiver at Alabama, Chris Black is now at Missouri and has one last chance to stay healthy and prove himself.

Is Nate Brown the next Bud Sasser Bailout Guy™?

Every good passing game has a guy to lean on when things break down. Nate Brown has size, speed, and quite a few similarities to former bailout guy extraordinaire, Bud Sasser. Is he the guy who can fill this role for Mizzou?

Time for consistency from J’Mon Moore

J’Mon Moore flashed perhaps more upside than any other Missouri receiver in 2015, but said flashes were few and far between. Now a junior leader, Moore must deliver far more consistency.

Bigger = better for the Mizzou backfield?

Missouri’s search for big, between-the-tackles running backs could be answered by a trio of newcomers.

Don’t forget about Walters and Williams

Trevon Walters and Ryan Williams probably won’t forfeit the battle for playing time simply because some exciting, new running backs have been added to the Missouri football roster.

Newcomers could redefine Mizzou’s RB corps

The more potential breakout stars you’ve got at one position, the more likely you’ll actually have one who breaks out. Missouri boasts three exciting newcomers at the running back position: Alex Ross, Nate Strong, and Damarea Crockett.

Ish Witter: the ultimate 3rd-down back

The addition of Alex Ross and Nate Strong could create the perfect role for Ish Witter in 2016: third-down back extraordinaire.

Introducing the insurance-policy QBs

If Jack Lowary or Micah Wilson play a snap for Missouri in 2016, either the Tigers are dominating, or something has gone horribly wrong. Such is the life of an insurance policy quarterback.

Might Zanders see the field, too?

Marvin Zanders barely saw the field for Missouri in 2015, but he could give Josh Heupel a different type of toy to play with in 2016.

Time to re-board the Drew Lock bandwagon

Drew Lock was thrown into the fire with no run support, no blocking, and an unprepared receiving corps. There was no way it was going to end well.
