Mizzou names 3 team captains for 2020 season
The Missouri Tigers are entering their first season under new head coach Eliah Drinkwitz, and there’s plenty of excitement in Columbia.
On Saturday, the Tigers announced their 3 team captains for the 2020 season, and they’re all veteran guys who have been around a while.
Per STLToday.com’s Dave Matter, OL Case Cook, LB Nick Bolton and RB Larry Rountree III will be the team captains this fall:

Bolton is getting some buzz as a potential first-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, so it’s no surprise to see him among the team captains.
Meanwhile, Rountree will try to bounce back from a disappointing 2019 season and Cook will try to shore up the Tigers’ offensive line after losing several key players.
good choices
Outstanding choices.
These are men who take the fight to their opponents first. That snowballs. Make them captains and it’s an avalanche.
Here’s one of many important things these captains need to present a united attitude and direction to the team about. College football athletes are taking up the cause of quality in police action, but college students are not particularly well read or experienced in quality public service job behaviors. It’s important for these young men to remember that this issue is not confined to high profile news stories. It’s much bigger and broader. It’s going to hurt these young men to try to carry too much of this agenda into their academic behavior and football behavior. All public safety and police matters matter.
