There isn’t a position on Mizzou’s roster that benefited more from the NCAA granting an extra year of eligibility than the defensive line. Tre Williams is the only scholarship player from Mizzou’s defensive line a year ago who isn’t expected to be back for the 2021 season.
Trajan Jeffcoat, Markell Utsey, Chris Turner, Kobie Whiteside, Akial Byers, Isaiah McGuire, Darius Robinson, Ben Key, Jatorian Hansford, Johnny Walker, Jr., Andrew Serrano and Cannon York are all returning. The position is in a good spot for depth in the upcoming season.

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s spring ball time!
Well, kind of.
Mizzou is scheduled to open up spring practice on February 28th. So, it’s close. Spring practice is slated to come to an end on March 26th. We’re still not sure when (if?) there will be a Black and Gold game this spring.
With spring practice only a few short weeks away, it’s time to take a look at who is back, who is leaving and who the Tigers have added since the end of the 2020 season.

There’s no shame in losing to one of the 10 best teams in the country. However you felt about Eli Drinkwitz’s debut season coming into this game is the same way you should feel about the season after the loss.
I know there was some excitement surrounding this game against Georgia. It was deserved. Missouri gave fans plenty to be optimistic about over the last couple months. But this was always going to be a tough task. I had a number of friends text me this week asking if I thought Missouri could cover the 14-point spread. I said no every time. The talent gap was just too wide.
