Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz discovered one of many strangest methods to go with a participant.
Throughout Tuesday’s SEC Media Days, Drinkwitz mentioned the constructive traits of offensive lineman Cayden Inexperienced. He picked an unlucky acronym when praising the Oklahoma switch.
“Enthusiastic about what Cayden brings to our program. He is very constant in his method each single day,” Drinkwitz stated. “Clearly he has the STIs — measurement, toughness, and instincts — to be an elite participant.”
One would suppose Drinwitz is aware of that STI has one other which means: sexually transmitted infections. On the very least, it is an odd approach to discuss a 19-year-old soccer participant.
Followers reacted to his uncommon proclamation on social media.
“There’s no approach he stated this,” Laci Michele wrote. “No POSSIBLE approach.”
“OK so Missouri is specializing in spreading STIs all through the staff this season, obtained it,” Brian Floyd joked.
“These traits are contagious,” Adam Drovetta quipped.
Drinkwitz did not break stride or snigger when citing that acronym. He continued discussing Inexperienced, who’s labored with offensive line coach Brandon Jones to find out whether or not he’ll play deal with or guard for the Tigers this season.
“He is offered a whole lot of place flexibility,” Drinkwitz stated. “I have been very impressed with the humbleness of his method … Finally, he simply needs to win.”
Inexperienced joined Oklahoma final yr as a four-star recruit out of Missouri’s Lee’s Summit North. The 6-foot-5, 316-pounder performed in 11 video games as a freshman, beginning at left guard within the Sooners’ remaining 4 video games of the common season.
He’ll look to lend his measurement, toughness, and instincts to a Missouri offense that scored 32.5 factors per recreation throughout an 11-win season.
