Recruiting Reset: Austin Firestone is ready to set the edge at Mizzou

There might not be a position group on Missouri’s roster that has undergone more of an overhaul over the past two offseasons than the defensive line. At defensive end, specifically, the Tigers added Tyrone Hopper and DJ Coleman to the mix last offseason, and they’ve added Joe Moore III (Arizona State) and Austin Firestone (Northwesern) since the end of he 2022 season.

We’ve already discussed what Moore can bring to the table. It’s time to dive deeper into Firestone’s story.

The former 3-star recruit out of Niceville, Florida — a suburb of Destin — was a 2-way player for his high school team, excelling along both the offensive and defensive line.
