Tight Ends Preview: A Breakout Sophomore Season for Brett Norfleet?

With Mizzou coming off a wildly successful 2023 season, expectations (and roster familiarity) have never been higher. For our annual position preview series, we’re breaking the position groups into three categories: the star player; the best-kept-secret; and the players that will offer much-needed support.

Mizzou’s wide receiver room is considered to be one of the best in the country, and that means Luther Burden III and Theo Wease Jr. will be consistently covered by the opposing defenses. That also means Mizzou can turn to the tight end position for secondary options to open up the passing game, and there are plenty of talented pieces in this group that is expected to be led by rising sophomore Brett Norfleet.
