  With a sudden and brief news release, Trajan Jeffcoat's college career nearly vanished two years ago. The Missouri defensive end, then a sophomore, was recovering from an elbow injury when just minutes before Mizzou's Oct. 5 kickoff against Troy, the school released a 36-word statement that ended Jeffcoat's season before it got started - and, it appeared, his Mizzou career. "Trajan Jeffcoat is not presently enrolled at Mizzou and will not be with the football team for the remainder of the season. In consideration of student privacy rights, we will not comment further on this matter." Jeffcoat, Tigers coach Barry Odom and school officials declined to discuss the matter. Sources later indicated his dismissal was a university decision and didn't come directly from the football program.

Skip forward nearly a year, and under a new coaching staff in a new season, Jeffcoat was the surprise addition of 2020. He re-enrolled at Mizzou last fall, rejoined the team under first-year coach Eli Drinkwitz and after missing more than a year of action, emerged as one of the Southeastern Conference's best pass rushers, earning first-team AP All-SEC honors. All of which begs the question: What can he do for an encore? "The sky is the limit," defensive line coach Jethro Franklin said. "We just need to get him going, to get him using that elbow and get him striking and shedding and running to the ball and playing with great effort and all that good stuff and then let the chips fall where they may. "He has the right attitude. He has the right mindset. He wants to do things right. As long as he brings those things to the party we're going to have a good time." - Post-Dispatch
