Missouri is expected to make Brian Early its new defensive line coach, per Matt Zenitz of 247sports. This comes after the Tigers hired South Alabama defensive coordinator Corey Batoon to the same position last week. No deal has yet been finalized for Early.
Early comes from Houston, where he’s spent the past five seasons. During his time at the program, he’s helped develop NFL talent such as Logan Hall (2023 second-round selection by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers), and Payton Turner (2021 first-round selection by the New Orleans Saints).

In 2023, he coached a pair of All-Big 12 selections.
