Mizzou Football Defensive Depth Chart Projections: Who Steps Up in Week 1? | All Things Mizzou 7/1

Killian Wright and Zach Knox-Doyle break down a massive week of news spanning Mizzou alumni in the pros, basketball scheduling updates, and their deep-dive main segment: predicting the 2026 Mizzou football defensive depth chart! They kick things off by celebrating former Tiger linebacker and current Kansas City Chiefs star Nick Bolton on his upcoming induction into the Mizzou Athletics Hall of Fame class of 2026. From there, they cover the latest NBA draft and Summer League updates featuring former Tigers like Trayvon Brazil, Sean East, and Caleb Grill. Plus, they react to the newly released non-conference basketball schedule, looking at matchups against Evansville, Howard, Alcorn, Pittsburgh, and more, and discuss what to expect from freshmen like Aaron Rowe and Aiden Chronister. Then, it's time for the main event: predicting the Mizzou football defensive depth chart! They debate the heavily rotated edge rusher position, break down the interior defensive line room, project the linebackers, and lay out their starting secondaries. They find a few key areas of disagreement at cornerback, safety, and edge—who has the ultimate edge in these battles? Viewers can share their own starting lineups in the comments below!
