Why Eli Drinkwitz picked Brady Cook as Missouri Tigers’ starting quarterback: podcast
Missouri has a starting quarterback.
The Tigers’ four-candidate competition concluded earlier this week, when coach Eli Drinkwitz announced Brady Cook would get the nod for MU’s opening game at home on Sept. 1.
Cook’s ability to throw with accuracy and also pose a threat in the running game elevated him over Tyler Macon, Jack Abraham and Sam Horn. On today’s episode of The Star’s SportsBeat KC podcast, Drinkwitz discusses his choice; you’ll also hear from Cook, who started last season’s bowl game for Mizzou.
Jayden Jernigan, a defensive lineman transfer from Oklahoma State, also speaks to the strides made by the Tigers’ defense during training camp.
