Abraham transferred to Mississippi State this season after three years at Southern Miss. He didn’t play a game after suffering a concussion and facial laceration during a “freak accident” in 2021.

During his three years at Southern Miss, Abraham completed 69.3% of his passes for 7,067 yards and 41 yards. Now, he’s transferring for the second time in his career.

He arrived at Southern Miss as a three-star recruit and the No. 29 recruit in the state of Mississippi, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Mississippi State returns Will Rogers, one of the nation’s top passers, for the 2022 season. Meanwhile, the Missouri quarterback room has more question marks, opening the door for potential playing time for Abraham.

Eli Drinkwitz and the Missouri Tigers have added 10 transfer additions since the end of the 2021 season.

Are the Tigers satisfied with their current options at quarterback?

With Connor Bazelak gone to Indiana, Eli Drinkwitz has a decision to make at quarterback heading into the 2022 season. The Tigers rotated Brady Cook, who started the Armed Forces Bowl loss to Army last season, and Tyler Macon throughout the spring. However, neither grabbed the job.

Drinkwitz recruited former USC and Georgia quarterback J.T. Daniels to come to Columbia, but he opted to transfer to West Virginia instead.

This summer, blue-chip freshman Sam Horn will join the competition with Cook and Macon. With the addition of Abraham, are the Tigers done searching for potential options?

Drinkwitz has recruited some nice playmakers for the Tigers — namely five-star freshman wideout Luther Burden, receivers Dominic Lovett and Ohio State transfer Mookie Cooper, and Stanford transfer tailback Nathaniel Peat — but do they have a quarterback who can get those guys the football?
