​The first day of Mizzou’s fall camp is tomorrow, but head coach Eli Drinkwitz and members of his team stood before the media today. Drinkwitz touched on a wide range of topics during his opening press conference, including the team’s identity entering fall camp, Sterling Webb’s return, position battles, injury updates and expectations for the offense.Drinkwitz’s opening statement:“All right, seventh season, man! What an awesome place to be out. So blessed to be at the University of Missouri for my seventh year, and very excited about this year, this team, what we put together. Appreciative to our administration, to our president, our board of curators, to our fans, to our supporters who have allowed us to get the best team that we could possibly put together, and it took a lot of hard work. And now we’re excited about the next step, the next journey that we have into trying to become our team this year.”Sterling Webb’s reintegration to the team:“Very excited to welcome Sterling Webb back to our football team and support him in his journey in this court case. Obviously, this is a unique time and area in college football, and Sterling is doing what he believes is in his best interest. We always are going to support our student-athletes.

My second year was the COVID exception for players, where you had players who didn’t count against your roster. My third year was NIL. My fourth year was unlimited transfer. My fifth year was free cap space. My sixth year was revenue sharing and cap, and now my seventh year is another court case.”Potential of the wide receiver room:“I think whether it’s Caleb Goodie, Cayden Lee, or Donovan Olugbode, you’ve got guys who’ve got a lot of experience and potential. You’ve got Naeshaun Montgomery, you’ve got Kenric Lanier, you’ve got Shaun Terry, you’ve got DaMarion Fowlkes, and you’ve got these two freshmen. I think the first thing they have to do is establish that connection with our quarterback and confidence that they’re going to make contested catches and be where they’re supposed to be in the huddle. I think the most important thing is that they establish their willingness to play without the ball. I think we can always point to what Luther did for the Bears last year, as really what we need to do, which is establish our identity as a team t
