College football is, for just a moment, entering a brief period of relative calm.
Most teams — Missouri football included — appear to have conducted the bulk of their business in the transfer portal and have set their rosters for spring camp, which is likely a little more than a month away.
That doesn’t mean there won’t be a newcomer or two in the coming days. Missouri did, after all, make a major portal splash Tuesday by landing a commitment from Georgia transfer defensive end Damon Wilson II.
But, the portal, in most instances, is closed to new entrants. There are exceptions, including any team that makes a head coaching change, which would spark a 30-day window for that team’s players to enter the portal, and any teams still playing a in a bowl game, which would spark a five-day window.
Missouri is not expected to fall into the first category and has passed the second, meaning the players on the roster are likely staying on the roster. The Tigers have added 17 players via the portal and are expected to lose 16 players, though six who entered the portal database are yet to commit to a new school.
Here is where Mizzou lost notable players to the transfer portal, and how that is likely to impact the 2025 team:
Two rookie Missouri football defensive ends left. How has Mizzou replenished?
Lost to the portal: Jaylen Brown (South Carolina); Williams Nwaneri (Nebraska)
Signed from the portal: Damon Wilson II (Georgia); Nate Johnson (Appalachian State); Langden Kitchen (Northwest Missouri State)
Brown was the only player among two outgoing rookies who carved out a reserve role in 2024, playing in five games and burning a redshirt. Nwaneri appeared in four games and preserved four years of eligibility.
