Missouri backup football quarterback Drew Pyne entered Missouri's football game against Auburn after starter Brady Cook went to the locker room with an apparent leg injury in the first quarter.

Here are three things to know about Pyne, Missouri's backup quarterback for the 2024 season:

Where did Missouri football backup QB Drew Pyne transfer from?

Pyne played at Arizona State last season and began the season as a backup for the Sun Devils before taking over as the starter for the injured Jayden Rashada in the third game of the season.

Shortly thereafter, Pyne was sidelined for the season due to multiple injuries, appearing in two games and not playing again after Week 4. He completed 26 of 49 passes for 273 yards and threw two touchdowns and three interceptions in two games.

The quarterback spent three seasons at Notre Dame before his stint at ASU. He was the Irish's starter for ten games during the 2022 season, throwing for 2,021 yards, 22 touchdowns and six picks.

Where did Drew Pyne go to high school?

Pyne was a member of the Class of 2020 at New Canaan High in New Canaan, Connecticut.

He was a four-star prospect and the eighth pro quarterback in his class, according to recruiting service 247Sports' composite rankings. Pyne was ranked the No. 230 player in the country this cycle.

How many years of eligibility does Drew Pyne have left?

Pyne has three years of eligibility remaining, even though this is his fifth year of college football.

Pyne, like all players at the time, was granted an additional year of eligibility by the NCAA for the pandemic-affected 2020 season and then redshirted the 2021 season with the Irish. He medically transferred to Arizona State in 2023, meaning he only used one of his four granted years of eligibility.

After this season, Pyne will have two seasons left to play football, meaning he could potentially spend eight years in the sport if he so chooses.
