Missouri defensive end Marcell Frazier won’t speak to the local media in 2017, according to a tweet the player sent on Tuesday afternoon.
“I will not be available to local media this season,” he wrote. “I gain nothing from it. I am still an amateur, not binded (sic) to do interviews (yet).”
It isn’t clear what caused his self-imposed boycott of local media, but it does imply Frazier would still be willing to talk if, for example, Tom Rinaldi wanted to parachute into Columbia for a College GameDay featured.
Missouri has not commented on Frazier’s desired lack of comments.
A fifth-year senior, Frazier ranked second on the Tigers’ roster last season with 7.5 sacks and 8.5 TFLs to go with 33 tackles.
