The pads are coming out, plans are being laid and footballs are being thrown once more. It's finally time for the new season. For some, its their final season before a big change.

Missouri football's first commit from the class of 2025 is heading into his final season before he makes the more to collegiate football. One game in, Missouri's future quarterback Matt Zollers is already proving his worth and just how valuable his choice to bring his talents to the Tigers will be.

Zollers set the tone for the rest of the highly ranked recruits for the 2025 class so far, showing that the future will be bright in Columbia. He chose the Missouri over Georgia, as well as his home state teams of Penn State and Pittsburgh.

To start off his senior season, Zollers led his Spring-Ford Rams to a 31-14 win on the road in an impressive performance.
