Here’s how Missouri football’s cornerbacks shape up heading into fall camp
Who will make the All-SEC Team Defense?
Who will make the All-SEC Team Defense?
It’s a new era at cornerback for Missouri football.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr., who was MU coach Eli Drinkwitz’s first recruit in Columbia, became a second-round NFL Draft pick this offseason and is now a Detroit Lion. His starting cornerback partner Kris Abrams-Draine, who led the Southeastern Conference in pass breakups last season, followed Rakestraw to the league when the Denver Broncos took him with a fifth-round pick.
Now, Mizzou has the task of finding their replacements.
One of the Tigers’ highlight transfer portal acquisitions came at the position, and the coaches have spoken highly of another key returner. Still, a number of questions linger at the position, mostly pertaining to depth and experience.
Here is how Missouri’s cornerback room looks heading into fall camp. Every scholarship player and any notable walk-on is mentioned:
The options for Missouri football at cornerback
Starters: Drey Norwood, jr.; Toriano Pride, jr.
Reserves: Marcus Clarke, sr.; Ja’Mariyon Wayne, so.; Nicholas DeLoach, r-fr.; Shamar McNeil, r-fr.; Cameron Keys, fr.; Jaren Sensabaugh, fr.
Drey Norwood filled in admirably when Rakestraw spent time on the sideline with an injury and has drawn the plaudits of MU cornerbacks coach Al Pogue for his offseason development and performances in spring camp. As it stands, he is due to start when Missouri begins its season on Aug. 29 against Murray State on Faurot Field.
Early indications suggest Toriano Pride Jr., an East St. Louis High alum and Clemson transfer, will make up the other half of the starters at corner.
Pogue has been high on both Nicholas DeLoach and Ja’Mariyon Wayne over the offseason, but neither has played significant reps in their young Missouri careers. Marcus Clarke has been a role player since transferring to Mizzou in 2022, and figures to keep that role heading into the new season.
Cameron Keys and Jaren Sensabaugh were big-time recruits for the Tigers’ Class of 2024.
The upside
When Norwood was called upon at times last season, he almost always answered the bell.
Stepping in for Rakestraw or Abrams-Draine was no small feat, but more often than not the Tigers’ secondary didn’t suffer too much with the key reserve on the field. Norwood started in the Cotton Bowl as Mizzou held Ohio State to just three points and 106 passing yards.
And among all of Missouri’s players in spring camp, few earned praise at the level that Norwood did.
“He’s been really attentive,” Pogue said in March. “You can tell he’s in his playbook, he’s getting really comfortable with the scheme. And he’s just letting his natural ability come through and make plays. I think the biggest thing for him is, you know, you can see the confidence. He has the confidence that he can compete in this league.”
Pride, similarly, was one of Missouri’s marquee grabs in the transfer portal. He played 26 games over two seasons for Clemson, hauling in an interception, registering a sack and two tackles for loss and being credited for nine passes defended.
One question or concern
When you look at the options listed above for players available to play the position, you’ll notice a lot of underclassmen.
That’s a legitimate concern — Missouri does not have a lot of high-level experience at cornerback. Pride might go down as one of Missouri’s most important portal additions, as it gave the Tigers at least some elite college football experience.
Mizzou is now relying on one or more of its in-house talents to prove that they’re ready for the rigors of an SEC slate. If injuries do occur, Mizzou can turn to Clarke for a senior option, or it can go to an underclassman.
The good news on this front is that Missouri has done a stellar job developing corners under Pogue. Rakestraw was a three-star recruit out of high school and ended up as an early second-round NFL Draft pick. Abrams-Draine was originally recruited to play wide receiver and was one of the leading corners in the league last year.
Breakout candidate
Pogue said he’s waiting to drop the leash on Warne and let the youngster loose, and he might be forced into just that this season.
Wayne has moved around quite a bit in his Missouri career. Now at corner, and seemingly settled, the coaches seem to like the fit.
“He’s ideal, prototypical from a size-wise,” Pogue said. “You know, big, he’s strong, he’s physical. He’s athletic, man, and more importantly, his competitive character is really high.”

WHEATLAND, Mo. — It was all Kerry Madsen on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway as the 54-year-old native of Australia, who’s now based in Knoxville, Iowa, picked up his first Interstate Batteries High Limit Sprint racing victory.
Madsen led all 30 laps to earn the $12,000 prize. He outdistanced runner-up Sue Lynch by 2.79 seconds with Tanner Holmes finishing third.
“The car’s been super quick every time we’ve hit the track,” Madsen said, noting several competitive runs in the early portion of the High Limit schedule. “The car’s been quick every night, which gives you a lot of confidence.
“We haven’t drawn well in dashes and had some little stuff going on. We drew a good one (tonight) and the car was good and we got the job done. I’m pretty happy.”
That changed this time as Madsen beat Holmes in the dash, to claim the pole position for the feature.
Madsen said his young crew chief Ty Wolfgang has “done a great job” getting in sync with him. Communication has been a big key.
“I know it sounds weird, but just hanging out together,” Madsen said of the driver-crew chief chemistry. “Dinner and a beer and just talk about racing. You do that and it might be a Wednesday night, but something clicks. He’s been real receptive with that stuff and that’s great.”
Madsen, a former Knoxville Nationals 360 winner, paced the early going after starting from the pole, with Holmes in close pursuit. Action slowed on lap six with Chase Randall and Danny Samms III tangling in turn two for the first and only yellow of the event.
Lynch moved into second on the restart as Madsen opened a 1.5-second lead by lap nine as Holmes dropped to third. Madsen’s margin swelled to nearly two seconds by lap 11 – but Lynch tracked down the leader and cut the deficit to a half-second at the halfway mark on lap 15.
As the race continued until green-flag conditions, Madsen settled into a one-second advantage as Lynch and Holmes tried to keep pace. Madsen poured it on in the late stages, cruising to the checkers by nearly three seconds over Lynch.
“Hopefully we can keep rolling like this all year. Obviously, you can’t win every night, but being quick and running well is going to be awesome,” Madsen said.
Lynch, 28 from Cowansville, Pa., said the team found some steering issues and gave him a fast car. It just was not fast enough to stay with Madsen on Saturday night.
“We were battling steering issue in the dash and it was pretty obvious,” Lynch said. “We just didn’t have time to change it and we just tried to make it the best we could. Really the car was super good. The guys busted their butt all night. It’s a testament to the team. We’re working hard and hopefully one spot better real soon.”
Holmes, a 22-year-old from Jacksonville, Oregon, came home third with Daison Pursley fourth, Hank Davis fifth and Rico Abreu charging from 11th to sixth.
“Our best night of the year,” Holmes said. “We’ve got to race a little bit during a break with High Limit these last few weeks. Some of those nights when we got our teeth kicked in taught us a lot.”
Fast overall qualifier was Sye Lynch at 13.342 seconds out of Group A. Aaron Reutzel led Group B with a lap of 13.469 seconds. Both were well off the track record for 410 Sprints held by Rico Abreu at 12.829 seconds on June 29, 2024.
The finish:
Feature: 1. 55-Kerry Madsen[1]; 2. 42-Sye Lynch[3]; 3. 13-Tanner Holmes[2]; 4. 9-Daison Pursley[4]; 5. 17GP-Hank Davis[5]; 6. 24-Rico Abreu[11]; 7. 7BC-Tyler Courtney[12]; 8. 77-Giovanni Scelzi[6]; 9. 19-Brent Marks[9]; 10. 26-Justin Peck[10]; 11. 88-Tanner Thorson[15]; 12. 21-Brian Brown[14]; 13. 28-Jace Park[23]; 14. 87-Aaron Reutzel[7]; 15. 19JR-Joel Myers Jr[20]; 16. 45X-Rees Moran[21]; 17. 5-Brenham Crouch[19]; 18. 44-Chris Martin[8]; 19. 19H-Kaleb Johnson[22]; 20. 87X-Logan Seavey[17]; 21. 36-Jason Martin[16]; 22. 9R-Chase Randall[18]; 23. 24D-Danny Sams III[13]; 24. 2-Miles Paulus[24]
