Mizzou’s Schrader is unanimous AP All-SEC 1st team, Drinkwitz gets COTY
COLUMBIA, Mo. — The Associated Press released its AP All-SEC selections late Monday night, which includes seven Missouri Tigers across the first-team and second-team, and an honor for the head coach.
The standouts are the unanimous first-team selection of running back Cody Schrader and the SEC Coach of the Year given to Eliah Drinkwitz.
This came on the same day Schrader earned the Bulsworth trophy given to the best former walk-on in college football.

He’s also a Doak Walker Award finalist, which is given to the best running back in the nation. The winner of that will be announced later this week, Dec. 8 at the award show on ESPN starting at 6 p.m. CT.
Other Mizzou first-teamers include wide receiver Luther Burden III, offensive tackle Javon Foster, defensive end Darius Robinson and cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine.
Two Tigers landed on the AP All-SEC second-team: Offensive guard Cam’Ron Johnson and place-kicker Harrison Mevis.
Coach Drinkwitz led his talented roster to his best record since his only head coaching season at Appalachian State where he went 12-1 in 2019, which was his first season ever head coaching at the FBS level.
The 10-2 season is the most wins for the program since 2014-2015’s 11-win season.
No. 9 Missouri is headed to Arlington, Texas for the Cotton Bowl later this month to take on No. 7 Ohio State.
