Zion Young turned Missouri’s edge into a pressure factory in 2025
In the 2025 season, Zion Young was one of Missouri’s most disruptive defenders, finishing with 42 tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks, 17 QB hurries, and 2 forced fumbles while starting all 13 games[2]. He paired reliable run defense with real edge juice—PFF credited him with 57 pressures and an 85.0 defensive grade, good for No. 24 nationally among edge rushers and third in the SEC[2]. He looks like a high-motor, high-impact fit if your team wants a disciplined, physical DE who can wreck plays without needing every snap to be a highlight reel[2][10].
