“D-Line Zou” became a slogan at Missouri because of the Tigers’ defensive ends. The defensive tackles have stolen the show the last couple seasons.
First it was Terry Beckner, Jr racking up seven sacks and 11 tackles-for-loss in 2017. He followed that up with a solid 3.5 sack, 11 tackles-for-loss performance in 2018.
Jordan Elliott and Kobie Whiteside broke through a year ago with a combined 10 sacks and 16 tackles-for-loss.
Elliott’s production made him into a top 100 pick in this year’s NFL Draft. Whiteside is still waiting for the respect he ultimately deserves.

Whiteside is one of the most productive Missouri defensive tackles of the last two decades.
