Missouri releases preliminary 2015 depth chart
The Missouri Tigers have a number of holes to fill this season, most notably at receiver and defensive line where nearly every player of note from a season ago has moved on from the team due to early entry to the NFL, graduation, suspensions or injury. How will the team replace so many departed contributors?
Thanks to the Columbia Daily Tribune, we have the first clues by taking a glance at Mizzou's first released depth chart via the team's media guide. Note: The depth chart was compiled prior to Harold Brantley's car accident, thus he is still listed as the team's starter in this depth chart.
