Jersey numbers announced for Kelly Bryant, Shawn Robinson and other Mizzou newcomers
The Missouri Tigers are going to have a lot of new faces on the roster next fall, including transfer QBs Kelly Bryant and Shawn Robinson.
On Tuesday, the Tigers announced jersey numbers for those new players, including some of the early enrollees from the 2019 class.
As you can see below, Bryant will wear No. 7, and Robinson will sport the No. 3 jersey last worn by Drew Lock:
Just landed in Knoxville and noticed Missouri updated its online football roster. A few changes:
* Micah Wilson listed as QB/WR (He dabbled at WR last spring)
* DT Jordan Elliott now No. 1
* QB Kelly Bryant No. 7
* QB Shawn Robinson No. 3
* WR Jonathan Nance No. 4— Dave Matter (@Dave_Matter) February 5, 2019
Other Mizzou newcomer numbers:
WR CJ Boone 10
DL Chris Daniels 7
OL Angel Matute 74
DL Darius Robinson 6
DB Chris Shearin 5
S Jalani Williams 4
DB Ishmael Burdine 24— Dave Matter (@Dave_Matter) February 5, 2019
Bryant, assuming he stays through the NCAA investigation that has recently cost Mizzou its 2019 postseason eligibility, will likely be the starting quarterback in 2019, with Robinson taking over in 2020.
Can Robinson live up to the No. 3 jersey? He’ll have a year to learn Derek Dooley’s offense as he sits out due to NCAA transfer rules.
