Mizzou is hard at work during its spring practice season, drawing closer to its March 18 spring scrimmage at Faurot Field.

The Tigers have a number of key players returning to the gridiron in 2023, and some of them will be sporting new jersey numbers this fall.

Per Dave Matter of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 5 Mizzou players, including 2022 leading rusher Cody Schrader, will be sporting new numbers in 2023:

The Tigers open the 2023 season on Saturday, Sept. 2, at home against the South Dakota Coyotes.

There are still a lot of things the Tigers need to discover about this year’s team before then, including whether or not Brady Cook can return from his shoulder injury to remain the team’s QB1. This is an important spring for Eli Drinkwitz and his staff.
