Charleston started all 12 games this season and racked up 60 tackles, 0.5 tackles for loss, four pass deflections and a forced fumble.
He transferred to Mizzou in 2022 from Clemson and since then he's recorded 77 tackles, four tackles for loss, one sack, an interception returned for a touchdown, a forced fumble and six pass deflections.
Charleston is one of four starters we are certain that are returning on the defense alongside Daylan Carnell , Kristian Williams and Johnny Walker .
