The Missouri Tigers have a deep group of tight ends this season, led by rising star Albert Okwuegbunam and senior Kendall Blanton.
That depth will be put to the test, though, as a promising freshman tight end suffered a major knee injury over the weekend.
According to coach Barry Odom, freshman Messiah Swinson tore his ACL and will miss the entire 2018 season:

Swinson was a 3-star tight end out of New York in the 2018 class, picking Mizzou over Nebraska, Arizona State and others.
Hopefully he’ll be able to return at full strength in 2019, and the silver lining in this situation is that he’ll be able to take a redshirt this fall and still have four years of eligibility remaining.
