Earlier today, we took a look at Mizzou’s new offensive depth chart. Now let’s flip over to the other side of the ball.

Defense

Mizzou enters 2018 light on true, pass-rushing defensive ends but heavy on defensive tackles. This depth chart is at least slightly revealing in that two guys we’d consider DTs (Sampson and Byers) are listed as backup ends.

This hints at something we’d begun to figure out already: head coach Barry Odom and defensive coordinator Ryan Walters are trying to build in as much flexibility as possible. We’re going to see a lot of different combinations, with a lot of different combined sizes, this year.
