05/04/21 - Larry Rountree III, Sr/2021, Missouri + More +

Saturday was never in the plans for Larry Rountree III. Once a three-star football prospect from North Carolina, Rountree came to Missouri with a simple set of goals, none of which included the NFL draft. "My mom and dad, they were just trying to get me into college. The NFL was not a dream," he said Saturday. "It was, 'OK, get in college, get your degree, do what you're supposed to do, take care of your business and don't embarrass our name.' That was the goal. So, this is just a blessing." Four years and nearly 4,000 rushing yards later, Rountree became Mizzou's final NFL draft pick of the weekend, going to the Los Angeles Chargers in the sixth round. Earlier Saturday, three Mizzou teammates heard their names called during the final day of the draft, bringing MU's three-day total to five, the program's biggest draft class since 2015. - Post-Dispatch

05/02/21 - *Nick Bolton, Jr/2021, Missouri + More +

Former Missouri linebacker Nick Bolton is staying in the Show-Me State. Bolton was drafted No. 58 overall by the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday night during the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft. The Tigers' highest-valued 2021 draft prospect was expected by several online projections to be picked either late in the first round or in the early-to-mid range of the second round. "I feel like I can play in the NFL and be a high-caliber player," Bolton said after Missouri's pro day last month. "So it's about proving myself right every day, believing in myself and trying to get myself in the best situation possible." The Frisco, Texas, native's stock took a major jump in 2019, starting beside Cale Garrett for Missouri. A two-interception performance against West Virginia set the table for a phenomenal year. The 5-foot-11, 237-pound Bolton earned first-team all-Southeastern Conference honors after leading the league with 8.9 tackles per game (107 total, 7.5 tackles for loss) and eight pass deflections in 12 games. - Columbia Daily Tribune

05/02/21 - Larry Rountree III, Sr/2021, Missouri + More +

Missouri running back Larry Rountree has found a new home on the West Coast. The Raleigh, North Carolina, native was selected by the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday with the No. 198 overall selection in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. Rountree finished his Missouri career as the school's all-time leading rusher among running backs with 3,720 yards and 40 touchdowns. Rountree is second on the Tigers' all-time list behind quarterback Brad Smith, who finished with 4,193 rushing yards. "It's crazy because honestly, me coming to college, that (rushing yards record) was never a goal. I never would have thought in a million years that I would be third," Rountree said after passing Brock Olivo for third on the all-time rushing list after Missouri's win over Kentucky in October. "But I knew coming here as long as I ran for my teammates and my mom, then everything will take care of itself."

At the MU pro day in March, Rountree participated in running back drills and also took passes as a wide receiver - a move he hopes helps him stand out among his competition. "I would say I've always been an underdog," Rountree said. "Coming out of high school, I was a two-star. So I've always had a permanent chip on my shoulder...Guys weren't talking about me coming out of high school. Nobody knew about me. That's why it's surprising what I did here at Mizzou. "But still at the end of the day, I can't control how people talk about me. The only thing I can control is how I play...No matter what, if you think another guy's better than me, at the end of the day, I know what I can do. So it's more a fact of how I take it." - Columbia Daily Tribune

Of the nine professional hopefuls to compete in the Mizzou Pro Day on Monday, six were on coach Eli Drinkwitz's Missouri football roster this past season. Two others - wide receivers Johnathon Johnson and Jonathan Nance - last played for Missouri in 2019. Joining the eight Tiger alums was Zach Davidson, a former Division II All-American tight end at Central Missouri. Representatives from 29 of the 32 NFL teams converged at the Devine Pavilion to watch on-field drills and the bench press. They made the walk into the Mizzou Athletics Training Complex for other combine-like exercises. Many scouts came to Columbia to get an up-close look at former Missouri linebacker Nick Bolton, a projected first- or second-round NFL Draft selection. Bolton told reporters Monday he's had Zoom meetings with about 75% of league teams.

"I feel like I can play in the NFL and be a high-caliber player," Bolton said. "So it's about proving myself right every day, believing in myself and trying to get myself in the best situation possible." Bolton's on-field workout was led by Pittsburgh Steelers inside linebackers coach Jerry Olsavsky, who spent several minutes talking with Bolton's family and his agent, Tommy Condon. The Steelers choose at No. 24 and 55 in the draft, set for April 29 to May 1. Bolton's metrics from pro day included 40-yard dash times of 4.59 and 4.60 seconds, as well as 24 reps on the 225-pound bench press. - Columbia Daily Tribune

On the heels of a turnaround season, the University of Tulsa football program has set its four-week spring practice period. The Hurricane will open spring practice March 14 and continue through April 13. A decision as to whether to play the annual spring game has not been made. Tulsa is coming off of a 2020 season in which the Hurricane played in the American Athletic Conference Championship game, the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl and finished the season with a 6-3 record. The Golden Hurricane returns nine starters on offense, 10 on defense and all of its specialists. Three other players who would have been starters but missed the 2020 season are expected back. Tulsa enters spring practice with 57 returnees, including 32 who have started at least one game. - Tulsa World

The football team has updated its online roster to reflect the current team. Two position changes from the season finale are now official: Former quarterback Shawn Robinson is now listed as a safety, while wide receiver Kris Abrams-Draine is now a cornerback. Eleven of last year's seniors are back for another year, using the extra year of eligibility granted by the NCAA: defensive linemen Akial Byers, Chris Turner, Markell Utsey and Kobie Whiteside, linebacker Jamal Brooks, safety Mason Pack, running back Dawson Downing, center Mike Maietti, wide receivers KeKe Chism and Micah Wilson and punter Grant McKinniss. The only 2020 scholarship seniors who elected not to return were running back Larry Rountree III, receiver Damon Hazelton, safeties Tyree Gillespie and Joshuah Bledsoe and defensive end Sci Martin. - Post-Dispatch

01/19/21 - Blaze Alldredge, rSr/2022, Missouri + More +

Missouri football added to its 2021 roster through the transfer portal Monday. The Tigers picked up a commitment from Rice linebacker Blaze Alldredge, who recorded 214 tackles, 29 tackles for loss, six sacks, two interceptions and a forced fumble in 30 career games with the Owls. Alldredge entered the transfer portal Saturday and should have two years of eligibility remaining per NCAA relief despite being a graduate transfer. The Celebration, Florida, native was a first-team All-Conference USA honoree each of the past two seasons. The 6-foot-2, 220-pound Alldredge was a team captain in 2020. The Tigers had a major hole in the middle of their defense after Nick Bolton declared for the 2021 NFL Draft. - Columbia Daily Tribune

01/07/21 - Mookie Cooper, rSr/2025, Missouri + More +

Eli Drinkwitz continues to add playmakers to his Missouri offense, most recently landing a familiar name from the NCAA transfer portal. Former Ohio State wide receiver Mookie Cooper, a 2020 four-star recruit from Trinity Catholic High School in St. Louis, committed to join the Tigers, Cooper announced Tuesday on social media. Cooper was rated the No. 2 prospect in Missouri in the 2020 recruiting class by Rivals.com when he signed with the Buckeyes and the nation's 58th-ranked player overall. Cooper barely gave Mizzou much consideration at the time and enrolled early at Ohio State last January. One of four highly touted receivers in the Buckeyes' freshman class, Cooper didn't see the field this season and entered the transfer portal last month. - Post-Dispatch

2020 ALL-SEC FIRST TEAM (COACHES): LB Nick Bolton, Missouri,...Bolton, a Butkus Award finalist and Jason Witten Man of the Year semifinalist, earned first-team honors for the second-straight season. He becomes the first Tiger since Michael Egnew (TE, 2010-11) to earn back-to-back AP all-conference first-team honors and the first defensive player to do so since Sean Weatherspoon (LB, 2008-09). Bolton continues to impress on the field week-in and week-out, as his 67 solo tackles lead the conference while his 95 total tackles rank fifth. He also ranks among the SEC's Top-10 in tackles per game (9.5, seventh) and tackles-for-loss (8.0, 10th). - Missouri Football

2020 SEC ALL-FRESHMAN TEAM (COACHES): PK Harrison Mevis, Missouri,...Mevis earns all-freshman team honors after a highly impressive debut campaign in the Black & Gold. He was successful on 17-of-20 field goals for the Tigers and a perfect 28-of-28 on PATs. Mevis has been lethal from deep, as he has connected on 3-of-4 kicks from 50+ yards and is one of just four Tigers in program history to make three or more kicks of 50+ yards, joining Tom Whelihan (6, 1984-87), Jeff Jacke (4, 1988-92) and Tucker McCann (3, 2016-19).

His 52-yard field goal vs. LSU (Oct. 10) was the longest by a Mizzou freshman in program history. Mevis matched a school record for a kicker with five field goals against Arkansas (Dec. 5), the most by any kicker nationally this season, and reset the school's record of scoring by a kicker with 20 of Mizzou's 50 points in a 50-48 win over the Razorbacks. Included in those five field goals was a walk-off, game-winning 32-yarder to send Mizzou to its fifth straight win over Arkansas and netted Mevis SEC Special Teams Player of the Week honors. - Missouri Football

His 14 rushing TDs rank third in the SEC and seventh nationally, while his 972 rushing yards rank fourth in the SEC and 13th nationally. The Tiger tailback will go down as one of the most prolific rushers in school history, as he currently ranks second in career rushing yards (3,720), rushing TDs (40) and 100-yard games (14). - Missouri Football
