Mizzou tight ends expected to play bigger role in 2026

On June 19, 2026, Missouri's tight ends may see expanded usage in the passing game under new coordinator Chip Lindsey. Historically, tight end contributions have increased since 2022, but remained low compared to previous eras. The tight end room, led by senior Brett Norfleet, retains depth and experience ahead of the upcoming season. Lindsey has prioritized tight end involvement in his offenses, which suggests a favorable development for Mizzou's passing strategy this fall.
