Missouri’s football program received a boost this week when Phil Steele released its preseason All‑SEC teams, and the Tigers claimed four spots on the offensive side of the ball.
A Look at the Offensive Landscape
Ahmad Hardy and Cayden Green stood out, earning preseason All‑American honors that spotlight the duo’s potential to anchor the offense.
Hardy’s trajectory, however, is clouded by a gunshot wound that has left his availability for the 2026 campaign in doubt, adding a layer of uncertainty to the team’s plans.
Green, meanwhile, is being watched closely as analysts project him as a Day 1 or Day 2 pick in the 2027 NFL Draft, underscoring the national attention he’s attracting.
Brett Norfleet, who has amassed 75 receptions for 686 yards and ten touchdowns over three seasons, and Dominick Giudice, slated to start at center next year, round out the recognized group.
The Tigers open their season on September 3 against Arkansas‑Pine Bluff, a game that will serve as the first test of how these preseason accolades translate into on‑field production.
