It must be springtime in Columbia.
The snow is gone. The sun is out. And Missouri football is back.
Mizzou will report for spring camp Friday, kicking off a run of 13 practices over the course of 21 days. The Tigers will not host a spring game either this season or next year due to ongoing stadium construction.
The Tigers went 10-3 in the 2024 season, sealing a double-digit win year with a win over Iowa in the Music City Bowl on Dec. 30 in Nashville, Tennessee. That marked just the third time in program history that Mizzou has recorded 10 or more wins in back-to-back seasons.
Missouri has never put together three straight double-digit win campaigns, falling two wins short in 2009 and five short in 2015
Can the Tigers get to that mark in 2025? The first steps begin Friday with spring camp, where 18 new transfers and 10 of MU’s 17-person high school signing class will practice with the team for the first time.
Here are the five biggest questions facing MU this spring:
Missouri football quarterbacks: Is Beau Pribula ready for starting rol
Let’s start with the big one.
Mizzou is betting big on Beau Pribula, as On3 reported that the quarterback signed an NIL deal worth $1.5 million after the Penn State transfer moved to Columbia to replace three-year starter Brady Cook.
Pribula is far and away the frontrunner to win what likely will be framed as an open competition at quarterback entering the spring. His challengers are Sam Horn, who is expected to return from Tommy John surgery that kept him out of all of 2024; Drew Pyne, who backed up Cook with varying success when the starter was injured last season; and freshman Matt Zollers, who sustained a season-ending leg injury in his senior year of high school.
