No. 5 — Who replaces Emanuel Hall?

We know Missouri has a multitude of options heading into camp, but who is going to take over?

Albert Okwuegbunam will be back as the top target at tight end and Johnathon Johnson returns as the go-to slot guy. But who will step up as the top target out wide?

Sophomores Jalen Knox and Kam Scott will be the first choices. Knox has 27 receptions for 419 yards and three touchdown last season while Scott had two big scores on fewer catches and fewer yards. So Knox has the edge.

But the Tigers brought in a guy who might be the No. 1 wide-out. That is Jonathan Nance.

How good could the Arkansas graduate transfer be? The 6-foot, 190-pound receiver sat out most of last season to take advantage of the new transfer rule, but he led the Razorbacks in receptions (37), yards (539) and touchdowns (5) in 2017.
