COLUMBIA, Mo. - Elvis Fisher's Twitter bio starts off with a quip: "Senior citizen at Mizzou."

While obviously hyperbole, there is a hint of truth to his claim. The starting left tackle is the longest-tenured player on the Missouri Tiger roster.

Fisher is in his sixth year with the program, having redshirted his freshman year in 2007 and taking a medical redshirt last season after rupturing the patellar tendon in his left knee during fall camp last August.

Now back for one last go-around, the 6-foot-5, 300-pound senior from Saint Petersburg, Fla., is ready to roll.
