It would be a tough task to find two teammates much more different than Andrew Jones and C.J. Keeney. Jones, a senior who will sign with Missouri on Wednesday talks constantly and spent most of the last year trying to recruit other players to the Tiger program. Keeney, a junior lineman at Smithville, is not nearly so talkative.

Keeney traveled to Columbia on Saturday with Jones for Mizzou's first junior day for the Class of 2009.

"It was good," Keeney said. "I like the campus and the football program."

Keeney said the Tigers are the only team he is hearing from at this point in time, but "they haven't talked to me too much about an offer."

At 6-foot-6, 290 pounds, he is sure to attract plenty of attention on the recruiting trail. And the Tigers already have one of their biggest recruiters on the case.

"Andrew is talking to me a lot about Missouri," Keeney said. "I'm going to look around and see what happens though."

Keeney can play on either side of the ball, but definitely has his preference.

"I think I'm better offensively, I've played there a lot more," he said. "I play relaxed, I'm not too much of a hyped up guy. I just try to play my game the best I can."

PowerMizzou.com will cover the Class of 2009 like no one else over the next 12 months.
