Post-Spring Depth Chart Breakdown: Missouri Tigers Tight Ends
The Missouri Tiger football team is analyzing its tight end depth chart as fall camp approaches. Brett Norfleet is the standout talent and expected to be the primary receiving option despite a shoulder injury that curtailed his previous season. Jordon Harris is the top blocking tight end but has limited receiving stats, while Vince Brown is expected to be the third option, although Gavin Hoffman could challenge him. Jude James and Dakotah Terrell round out the depth, with both needing further development before making significant contributions.
By the Numbers
- Brett Norfleet had surgery after the Arkansas game last season and wore a green non-contact jersey during spring.
- Jordon Harris has recorded only five receptions for 48 yards across two seasons.
State of Play
- Norfleet is designated as the No. 1 tight end with significant potential as a receiver, relying on a new quarterback.
- Harris serves mainly as a blocker, indicating a shift in how tight ends are utilized.
- Both Brown and Hoffman are adapting, with Hoffman expected to challenge for the third spot in the lineup.
What’s Next
The tight end group will continue to evolve as players gain experience and adapt to new coaching strategies. With the upcoming season, the effectiveness of the tight ends in the offense could be pivotal, especially in supporting a young quarterback.
Bottom Line
The Missouri Tigers have a promising tight end roster, led by Norfleet, but the focus will be on developing consistency in both blocking and receiving to enhance the overall offense this season.
