Mizzou's Aaron Rowe ready to display weight-room gains, defensive improvements in 2026 Original
How in the world could Aaron Rowe be the strongest player on Mizzou’s roster? The online roster lists him at 6-foot-2, 155 pounds. Last year's said the same. Rowe didn’t undergo a magical growth spurt. And he didn’t snap his fingers to add some muscle. The simplest answer lies in the weight room, where Rowe, now a sophomore, lived during his freshman season and the offseason.
Midseason Mizzou report card: checking in on each Tiger position group
The Missouri Tigers' much-needed week off coincided with the midway point of the college football season. They are sitting at 5-2, with wins over the likes of Florida and Texas A&M and losses on the road at Mississippi State and Ole Miss. Most of the position groups saw some sort of overhaul in the offseason, whether it was a transfer joining the squad or a younger player moving up the ranks. Those changes led to a bit of offseason skepticism, some of which has been disproven and some of which...
Midseason Mizzou report card: Checking in on each Tigers position group
The Missouri Tigers’ much-needed week off coincided with the midway point of the college football season. They are sitting at 5-2, with wins over the likes of then-No. 8 ranked Florida and Texas A&M and losses on the road at Mississippi State and Ole Miss.

Offensive lineman backs out of Mizzou commitment Original
Mizzou’s 2027 recruiting class took a hit Monday with the decommitment of three-star interior offensive lineman Lual Aleu. Ranked 1,270th in the country according to composite rankings, Aleu was one of five offensive-line commits in the Tigers' class. The product of Cincinnati attended Winton Woods High School and committed to the Tigers on March 9 before taking an official visit June 5. He also officially visited Louisville and Virginia Tech.
Berglund's career-best round propels Mizzou women's golf to second after 36 holes
Mizzou women's golf landed in second place as a team after a blistering start Sunday at Day 1 and two rounds of the Jim West Challenge in San Marcos, Texas. Alexandra Berglund recorded a 7-under-par 65 in the first round, the best 18-hole score of her career. It pushed her to the individual lead at 8-under-par after 36 holes. She recorded five birdies and an eagle in Round 1 while not bogeying a single hole. Her first round was a significant reason Mizzou jumped out to an 8-stroke lead as a team.
Mizzou misses out on opportunity for needle-moving win in road blunder against Ole Miss
Mizzou had an opportunity Saturday. It was one it searched for, eyed down and needed to move the needle for the 2026 season and for the program as a whole. A Top-10 road win is not a feat the Tigers have accomplished under coach Eli Drinkwitz and doing so in Week 7 would’ve pushed Mizzou directly into College Football Playoff conversations. Instead, the Tigers tumbled in Oxford, Mississippi, missing out on a chance to vault themself into playoff talks with a 31-3 loss to Ole Miss.
Mizzou faces a major road test from an explosive Ole Miss offense

The teams didn't meet in 2025, but Lacy went toe-to-toe with MU running back Ahmad Hardy for the title of best running back in all of college football.

Mizzou grinds out defensive-focused victory over Texas A&M
COLUMBIA — A matchup between No. 14 Mizzou and Texas A&M had the makings of an ugly slugfest and, as it turned out, it largely was just that, but it was MU that walked away with a 27-6 win. The MU victory boosted its record to 5-1, marking a fourth straight season the Tigers have started the season with that record. It didn’t need to be pretty for the Tigers to get to this point. All that matters in this conference is to survive and advance.

'He's a great representation': Sione Laulea carries the legacy of his grandfather, Alauna, with him on his football journey
Mizzou cornerback Sione Laulea didn’t always want to be a football player. In fact, when his mother, Asinate Laulea, placed him on a Pop Warner roster when he was 5 five years old in Mountain View, California, he hated it. Asinate’s aunt had told her about the sign-ups. Sione even received a scholarship that covered the costs of playing on the team, but his mother made sure that wasn't what kept him playing. “He really tried to quit,” Asinate said. “He didn't. He was fine, and I said, 'Nope.

According to Mizzou coach Eli Drinkwitz, it is going to take certain measures to ensure that doesn’t happen. The Tigers might have just earned the win they needed in Week 5 over the Gators, doing so with a 28-point margin that threw them into the top 20 in both major national polls.
