Missouri QB Pribula Suffers Potential Season-Ending Injury

On October 26, 2025, Missouri senior quarterback Tyler Pribula suffered a potential season-ending injury during a game against Vanderbilt. Pribula faked a pitch to tailback Kevin Coleman Jr. and kept the ball, but was stopped short of the end zone by Vanderbilt edge rusher Miles Capers and others. As Pribula went to the ground, his left leg bent awkwardly, and he was moved to a wheelchair after being taken off the field.

Freshman Matt Zollers, ESPN's No. 86 overall recruit in the class of 2025, took over after Pribula's injury. Zollers had attempted six passes in three games this season prior to the incident.

Pribula is the second Missouri quarterback to suffer a potential season-ending injury this season. Starter Sam Horn fractured the tibia in his right leg on the Tigers' first snap from scrimmage in their 61-6 victory against FCS program Central Arkansas on August 28. Horn, who missed all of the 2024 season following Tommy John surgery, is expected to make a full recovery.
