Missouri’s head coach has put an end to offseason speculation, officially confirming who will headline the Tigers’ offensive front as the new campaign approaches.
After weeks of spring competition and evaluation, the program has named A potential figure as the clear leader of the offensive line entering the season. The senior left tackle, coming off an All-SEC performance, is expected to anchor the unit and serve as the tone-setter in both the locker room and on the field.
The announcement reinforces what many around the program anticipated. Cayden Green’s experience, physicality and consistency against top conference competition made him the logical choice to lead a group that underwent significant offseason turnover.
With several new transfers stepping into key roles and younger players pushing for snaps, stability up front was a priority. By publicly backing Green as the head of the offensive line, the coaching staff is signaling confidence in his ability to guide a reshaped unit through early-season challenges.
The Tigers are projected to feature a veteran-heavy starting five, blending returning production with portal additions. Still, the success of the offense will largely hinge on how well the line gels — and how effectively its leader commands the trenches.
As preseason preparations intensify, Missouri now moves forward with clarity in the trenches. The message from the head coach is clear: the offensive line has its leader, and the foundation for the season starts with him.
