Entering the season ranked as the No. 11 team in the nation by USA Today's coaches poll, the Missouri Tigers have one of the most talented rosters in college football.

The 2023 season was a decorated year for the Tigers, with Cody Schrader winning the Burlsworth award as the nation's best former walk-on and finishing eigth in Heisman voting, Luther Burden III being named a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff award, the offensive line a semifinalist for the Joe Moore award, Ty'Ron Hopper a finalist for the Butkus award and other recognition.
