Quarterback decision on the horizon, Drinkwitz says, while o-line seems solidified
Coach Eliah Drinkwitz will assess quarterbacks Beau Pribula and Sam Horn's consistency during the season opener before naming a starter for the Mizzou football team.
- Coach Eli Drinkwitz confirmed that both Beau Pribula and Sam Horn will see playing time in Missouri’s season opener against Central Arkansas on August 28, 2025.
- This decision follows a quarterback battle that has continued through spring and fall camps, with Drinkwitz emphasizing no final choice before seeing them in a live game situation.
- Pribula, a graduate transfer with experience as a backup at Penn State, and Horn, a returner with limited in-game experience at Mizzou, have been statistically close during preseason practices.
- Coach Drinkwitz emphasized that a single poor performance will not determine the outcome of the competition and highlighted the need for steady decision-making grounded in toughness, preparation, accuracy, and leadership.
- The team's confidence remains strong regardless of the starter, with a choice expected only after the opener, while Horn plans to join the Los Angeles Dodgers organization following the 2025 football season.
