Mark Hensley brings veteran, gap-closing interior depth to Mizzou
In the 2025 season at Northern Illinois, Mark Hensley stacked 32 tackles, 5 tackles for loss, 1 sack, and 12 pressures across 12 games, showing he can eat snaps and flash disruptive juice from the interior. He’s a 6-foot-3, 290-pound defensive tackle with a sturdy frame, a homecoming story, and the kind of steady, physical play that helps a rotation survive the grind. The appeal: dependable run defense, growing pass-rush production, and proven durability. The question for any team is simple—if you want a hardworking, game-ready DT who won’t need to be coddled, Hensley fits.
