Missouri is going to fix its defensive line come hell or high water. There is no position the Tigers have thrown more numbers at since Eli Drinkwitz arrived on campus than the defensive line. That includes attempting to fix the problem by adding high school recruits, JUCO transfers, G5 transfers and P5 transfers. If you can play defensive line, there’s a good chance Drinkwitz and his coaching staff has scouted you.
The group finally came together last year, and the early returns are positive again in 2023. The goal is now to stack some talent behind the current crop of defensive linemen in order to avoid a situation like the Tigers had in the early portion of the Drinkwitz era when the defensive line talent was at a serious deficit.
