MU defensive tackle Landry’s injury opens playing time for freshman Gracial
Missouri defensive tackled Josh Landry is expected to be back next week after breaking his hand against Vanderbilt.
Beyond his strength and size, Gracial has shown his teammates a willingness to learn. Realus George Jr. constantly helps him in both the passing and run games, offering a second set of coaching help from a teammate point of view.
“He’s already come a long way since he got here,” George said. “Just as far as his technique, he’s become a lot better player through fall camp and he’s still improving. I think he can eventually, before the season is over, make some plays for us.”
Gracial has changed his body through the season. He’s dropped weight and gained muscle. And as the season progresses, Gracial is destined to see the field with improvements forcing him into the defensive scheme.
