Missouri quarterback Beau Pribula will miss an undetermined amount of time with an injury sustained during Saturday’s game against Vanderbilt, the team announced. The injury, the nature of which has not been disclosed, occurred during the second quarter of the 31-17 loss at FirstBank Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee.
Pribula transferred to Missouri from penn State last December and won the starting quarterback job following an injury to Brady Horn in August. He started eight games for the Tigers, averaging 210.6 passing yards per game with 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions, completing 70% of his passes. He also rushed for 27.5 yards per game. His absence creates uncertainty at the quarterback position for Missouri as it navigates the remainder of its season.
While the severity and specific timeline for Pribula’s return remain unclear, Missouri officials indicated the injury is not expected to be career-ending. Despite being listed as a graduate student, Pribula retains one year of eligibility.
“I’m hurt for him, you know? I’ve been in that situation,” Mizzou center Connor Tollison said Saturday after the game. “It’s not fun.You never know when your last play could be or (when) your next play will be. So, just sad to see that happen.”
Matt Zollers replaced Pribula against Vanderbilt, completing 10 of 19 passes for 139 yards and one interception.
