It looks as if Drew Lock will have a new backup when the 2017 season rolls around.
On his personal Twitter account Thursday night, Marvin Zanders announced that he has decided to transfer out of the Missouri football program. The redshirt sophomore said he’s leaving to pursue other opportunities that will further his education and playing career, although where that will be is still to be determined.Thanks for the memories #Mizzou... I plan to transfer and pursue other opportunities to further education and playing career... Thank You 🙏🏽 pic.twitter.com/JUXkDNBmpJ

Zanders was a three-star 2014 signee who played in just one game in 2015 after redshirting as a true freshman. As Lock’s primary backup in 2016, Zanders played in a total of eight games. In limited action, he completed 10 of 12 passes for 114 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for 198 yards and a pair of scores.The decision of Zanders to move on leaves the Mizzou quarterback cupboard somewhat bare at the moment.
Zanders’ departure leaves Mizzou with 3 scholarship QBs: Lock, Jack Lowary & Micah Wilson. Estes committed but he’s opened recruitment
