After a collegiate career with the Tigers marred with legal troubles despite stellar on-field play, Dorial Green-Beckham, the former #1 wide receiving recruit from Springfield, Missouri, is hard at work trying to figure out which school he will take his talents to next.
After multiple marijuana arrests, April allegations that stated Green-Beckham pushed a woman down “four flights of stairs” were the last straw, according to CBSSports.com, and he was kicked off the team by head coach Gary Pinkel.
Soon after the incident, reports surfaced that Green-Beckham could possibly end up at Eastern Illinois, but he will meet with the Oklahoma coaching staff today.
Green-Beckham’s impact for the Tigers was instantaneous, as it only took him until his second collegiate game in 2012 to find the end zone, and he ended up scoring four more by the end of that season, in which he was a true freshman. Last year Green-Beckham made huge leaps and bounds in terms of play, as he found the end zone 12 times and recorded nearly 900 yards and 60 catches, per stats from ESPN.com. And that was only his sophomore year; who knows what his ceiling might have been at Missouri had he kept his off-field life in check.
Now another team might find out what Missouri ultimately didn’t; and if they don’t, you can bet that an NFL team certainly will.
