From dancing with recruits to amusing statements, Missouri Tigers head coach Eli Drinkwitz has long garnered attention with his personality. This time, his attention came with the Missouri Athletic Club's 2024 Sports Personality of the Year award

Hall of Fame announcer and MAC member Jack Buck created the award in 1970 to recognize those who have distinguished themselves in the St. Louis sports scene. The first one was given to former cardinal and Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Gibson and the most recent went to former St. Louis City SC head coach Bradley Carnell.

The 55th annual Jack Buck Sport Award ceremony will be held on Monday, Dec. 16.
