Mizzou wide out earns number on Day Three of spring practices

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Mizzou wide receiver Dominic Lovett earned his No. 7 before spring practice on Tuesday.

The East St. Louis native is an early enrollee this spring. Head coach Eli Drinkwitz had high praise for Lovett.

"He's just been consistent, playing with great effort, making plays," Drinkwitz said. "[He] made some explosive plays in Friday's and Saturday's practice, and felt like he had earned the opportunity to wear number seven."
