With Mizzou coming off a wildly successful 2023 season, expectations (and roster familiarity) have never been higher.

D-line Zou isn’t just a nickname, it’s been a decades-long mantra for Mizzou football. 2023 was a season where the unit lived up to the moniker, ranking 10th nationally in team sacks (39) and 30th in rushing yards allowed per game (122.8). Featuring a first-round draft pick in Darius Robinson and a four-man rotation of veterans on the interior, the 2023 Mizzou defensive line was steady as it comes.
