Barry Odom and his staff are working hard to rebuild the Tigers depth at offensive line. They've offered two new 2016 prospects that could help immediately and they also continue to work on what could be a class of six offensive linemen in 2017.
They strengthened that 2017 group today as Indianapolis (Ind.) Ben Davis offensive lineman Pompey Coleman committed to Mizzou while on an unofficial visit in Columbia.

Coleman is the third member of Missouri's 2017 class joining DaRon Davis and Hyrin White.
"It's a great school and I think it holds the most opportunities for me as a student and an athlete. Their program is going in the right direction," he told PowerMizzou.com.
Mizzou will continue to recruit for the offensive line with around four spots to go. Take a look at our 2017 Target Board: Offense to see who Mizzou's top targets.
Coleman is the No. 8 ranked player in Indiana, a state Mizzou has recruited more aggressively the last few years. PowerMizzou.com will have more from Coleman as soon as possible. In the meantime enjoy offensive analyst Jon Cooper's reaction to Coleman's commitment.
