College football season is rapidly approaching. For a lot of colleges, today marks the first day of class, meaning football isn’t far behind. With training camp in full swing and team scrimmages beginning, positions are beginning to solidify for the Missouri Tigers. Well, most positions that is, as the battle to be Drew Lock’s backup is still raging on.

Fighting for the spot are sophomores Lindsey Scott and Micah Wilson, as well as junior Jack Lowary. At the start of camp, Scott and Lowary were essentially tied for the backup position, but things have changed.

Head Coach Barry Odom said on Aug. 13 that Scott and Wilson were splitting “most of” the snaps that the backup offense was running, according to The Kansas City Star’s Aaron Reiss. Given this is still training camp and things can easily change, it’s not great for Lowary that he isn’t a part of that those. It is good for the other two, however.

The backup QB last season, Wilson happens to be the only player of the three to throw in a Division 1 football game. He played in five games with the Tigers last season, going 5-of-10 in the passing game for 48 yards and one interception. He also ran the ball 15 times, rushing for 89 yards and one touchdown.

While the experience is definitely a positive for the Junior, he doesn’t have his old job back just yet. Scott has managed to stick around on the depth sheet during camp and was primarily recruited by the Tigers new offensive coordinator, Derek Dooley.

But, looking at last year, it seems like Wilson will end up being the man behind Lock once again. But, there’s still plenty of time for Lowary or Scott to impress the coaches and take over the position. We should see who wins the position soon.

Who do you think will be Lock’s backup when the Tigers hit the field Week 1? Duke it out in the comments below and let me know!
