Missouri football transfer portal tracker: Who is joining, leaving Tigers?

Here we go again.

The college football transfer portal reopened Tuesday morning and will remain open for inward and outward movement until May 1.

Missouri football, under a current estimation, has 81 players on scholarship, meaning the Tigers have four open spots for the 2024 season. That’s not to say the Tigers won’t chase or attempt to sign more players, but that’s the likely threshold for the next fortnight.

Mizzou coach Eli Drinkwitz and his staff have lured 12 players out of the portal since the 2023 regular season ended, with 11 players committing in the December-January window and quarterback Drew Pyne announcing his intention to join the team this summer back in early March.

The Tigers are likely to target an interior offensive lineman to help bolster the right guard spot. On Monday evening at Missouri’s Come Home Tour stop in Overland Park, Kansas, Drinkwitz told the Tribune that the Tigers have not specifically identified any positions of need but will seek out competitive depth.

“If there’s a player who we think can come in and compete to be a starter we would always take that player, outside of the quarterback position,” Drinkwitz said. “So I don’t know that there’s one specific area that we’re really nervous about that we feel like we’re not capable of playing SEC-winning football.”
