COLUMBIA, Mo. – University of Missouri quarterback Brady Cook is one of 20 semifinalists for the National Quarterback Award, the Davey O’Brien National Selection Committee announced Tuesday.
Cook has been a key cog in the offense as Mizzou has run off to an 8-2 record and a No. 11 ranking in this week’s Associated Press poll.

One of Mizzou’s offensive captains, he’s completed almost 68% of his passes (67.9) and averaged 274.6 yards per game with a 160.7 QB rating.
