COLUMBIA, Mo. — Week 2 of fall camp is wrapping up for the Missouri Tigers with their 2024 season opener less than three weeks away. The Tigers had a scrimmage Saturday morning that featured some young standouts.
Head coach Eli Drinkwitz spoke to the media following the scrimmage to recap the scrimmage, provide injury news and more updates. Here’s some key takeaways from his press conference:
Scrimmage Standouts
This week of practices for Missouri was bookended by scrimmages on both Monday and Saturday. Hearing from players earlier in the week, wide receivers Joshua Manning and Daniel Blood along with cornerback Cam Keys stood out in Monday’s scrimmage.

“Some good, some bad, some hard to tell until you really watch the tape because you’re just going from situation to situation, there’s no real breaks,” Drinkwitz said of Saturday’s scrimmage.
Manning, one of the most popular names of fall camp, stood out again Saturday. According to Drinkwitz, Manning had an “unbelievable day” with six catches for about 100 yards and two touchdowns. His first score came from an impressive pass from backup quarterback Drew Pyne in the red zone.

Manning’s touchdown broke the glass for the offense in the red zone after the first-team defense stopped the first-team offense on the first two red zone attempts.
The sides flipped with the ball being moved back to put the offense up against the endzone. The second-team offense gave up a safety. After that, the offense switched in favor of the offense.

The defense did not come away with any takeaways on the day despite a fumble on the ground and having a chance at two interceptions that they dropped.
Finally, three-star athlete Austyn Dendy has found his spot at running back and had around 80 yards and a touchdown in the scrimmage.
Injuries for 3 Offensive Players
Tight ends Brett Norfleet, Jordon Harris and running back Kewan Lacy are all dealing with injuries. Lacy, a four-star freshman running back, is dealing with a soft tissue injury that kept him out of Saturday’s practice. Drinkwitz did not provide specifics on Harris or Norfleet’s injuries but expect the two to be back to practice by the end of next week.
At tight end, freshmen Jude James and Whit Hafer have both stepped up. Both Norfleet and Harris missed practice Wednesday through Friday.

Young Players Earning Elevated Roles
For the second straight week, Drinkwitz mentioned freshman defensive back Trajen Greco as a standout. The four-star prospect was one of the final additions of Missouri’s 2024 Class and has been impressing with his athleticsm so far. Drinkwitz says he expects Greco to be someone who could instantly contribute for the Tigers either on special teams or defense.
Drinkwitz has the same hopes for freshman linebacker Jeremiah Beasley, a four-star transfer from Michigan. Both Greco and Beasley are in crowded rooms but seemingly are earning themselves opportunities.
Finally, defensive back Nicholas Deloach has continued to emerge in the corner back room. According to Drinkwitz, the sophomore has been getting a significant amount of first-team reps alongside Toriano Pride Jr.

“Super explosive athlete, very consistent,” Drinkwitz said of Deloach. “He’s got great man-to-man skills. Very smart, instinctual player.”

Two people were seriously injured in a crash Wednesday morning in Cole County on Route B, south of Spring Ridge Road, near St. Thomas, according to a crash report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
Around 11:50 a.m., a 2020 Honda CRV SUV driven by a 67-year-old woman from Meta attempted to turn southbound onto Route B and traveled into the path of 2018 Freightliner Cascadia semitruck driven by a 71-year-old-man, according to the crash report.
The driver of the Honda and the passenger, a 66-year-old-man from Meta, were not wearing seat belts and were airlifted to University Hospital in Columbia, according to the crash report. Both sustained serious injuries, according to the report.

As summer recreation ramps up across Missouri, safety officials are reminding residents that water safety begins long before anyone steps into a lake or river. Understanding the risks of water activities, knowing personal limits, and making responsible choices are the foundation of preventing tragedies on the water.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol and other safety agencies emphasize that natural waterways can present hidden hazards, including strong currents, sudden drop‑offs, and floating debris. Swimmers are urged to stay aware of their surroundings, use life jackets when appropriate, and avoid swimming alone.

Officials say simple precautions—such as recognizing fatigue, monitoring weather conditions, and watching out for others in your group—can make the difference between a fun day on the water and a dangerous situation. As families head outdoors, authorities encourage everyone to treat water safety as a shared responsibility.
