The Missouri Tigers will take center stage in Dallas, Texas on Tuesday July 16th. Starting on Monday and finishing on Thursday, each team is designated a specific day to answer questions from the press. Media days are among the most exciting time of the summer for college football fans, especially when "it just means more" in the SEC.
Each team sends three players to represent the program, usually captains, or star-players with high expectations. Representing Missouri at media day in 2024 will be Luther Burden, Brady Cook, and Kristian Williams. They'll be joined by their head coach, Eliah Drinkwitz, who figures to put on a show.

It will be interesting to see how Missouri is viewed, coming in with as much positive momentum as any team in college football. Joining the Tigers on Tuesday will be Georgia, Tennessee, and Oklahoma, all of whom have high expectations for 2024.
Eliah Drinkwitz is set to take center stage at 2:20 PM CST. He'll be followed by his players Luther Burden, Brady Cook, and Kristian Williams. It will be interesting to see the players outlooks after a program changing season in 2023. Missouri appear to be a serious contender following their Cotton Bowl victory over Ohio State.
You can expect Drinkwitz to entertain the media, as he seemingly always does. But one of the most entertaining aspects of SEC Media Days, is always the preseason predicted order of finish, voted on by the media. Last season, Missouri was predicted to finish 6th in the SEC East, only better than Vanderbilt.
Obviously we expect to see a higher preseason predicted finish this year, but it will be interesting to see just how high Missouri jump. All the action will be followed tomorrow, as we get one step closer to football season.
