Missouri’s Beau Pribula Eyes Alabama Test, Signals Return Next Season

The Penn State transfer leads the SEC in completion rate, signaling plans to return to Missouri next season.

Overview

  • In a pregame chat with Jon Gruden, Pribula said he expects to play another year at Missouri, per a quote shared by team insider Michael Stamps on X.
  • Through five games, he has 1,203 passing yards with nine touchdowns and three interceptions, completing 75.9% of his throws to lead the SEC.
  • Missouri, unbeaten entering the weekend, hosts 4-1 Alabama at Faurot Field, with Pribula calling it likely the biggest game of his career and saying he is excited for the challenge.
  • Pribula transferred after entering the portal during the winter window a day before Drew Allar announced his return to Penn State; coach James Franklin publicly defended the timing as a no-win situation.
  • He cited Eli Drinkwitz and Kirby Moore’s scheme as the right fit, stepped into the starting role after offseason departures, and has added rushing production to Missouri’s offense.
