Which 5 Missouri Tigers 2015 Recruits have the Best Chance to Contribute Right Away?

Mizzou will be losing one of their biggest contributors with the graduation of Marcus Murphy, who was a star return man on both kicks and punts over the previous three years. There will be a competition to replace Murphy, and one of the candidates for that job will be recruit Johnathon Johnson, whose explosiveness as a return man made him attractive to Mizzou’s staff.

The 5-foot-10, 175-pounder out of Tennessee probably won’t make contributions from scrimmage in 2015—the staff hasn’t even decided for sure yet whether he’ll be a receiver or defensive back—but he definitely stands a chance of making an impact as a kick or punt returner, especially with no other obvious candidates existing on the current roster.
