Missouri’s ceiling at defensive tackle is awfully high in 2017 and beyond

In just under 14 weeks, Dave Steckel’s Missouri State Bears will be visiting Columbia. I thought this was a good time, then, to take a broad view at the Missouri roster, both for 2017 and beyond. We’ll go unit by unit, and I felt like starting with DTs. What’s the future of the interior of #DLineZou?

We all know the story by now: With injuries to Beckner and Utsey, Mizzou was drastically undermanned at defensive tackle this spring. End Jordan Harold played tackle quite a bit, as did walk-on offensive lineman Adam Roland.

Assuming decent health, Mizzou has four tackles with some semblance of experience.
