These are the best transfers Missouri football must face in 2025

All the portal madness has just about passed.

Missouri football is still more than 100 days away from starting its 2025 campaign. Spring practices have wrapped up across the country. Offseason practices are the only thing standing between the present and players reporting for fall camp.

The transfer portal is, in an overwhelming majority of cases, closed for new entrants, too. That means nearly all of the movement fans should expect has already occurred, and rosters, in most cases, are close to what they will look like in the fall.

So, what’s new?

And how has the movement — which saw more than 3,000 FBS players enter the portal across two windows — changed what Mizzou will come up against?

Here is the best transfer at each team that Missouri will face in the 2025 season, with some honorable mentions thrown in for good measure.

Game 1: Central Arkansas DE Jakobe Shell (Henderson State)

Shell put up big numbers at the Division-II level, with seven sacks and 12 tackles for loss en route to first-team All-Great American Conference recognition.

Team total: 25 transfers

Game 2: Kansas RB Leshon Williams (Iowa)

Williams found himself buried behind third-round NFL Draft pick Kaleb Johnson on the Iowa roster last season, but is a promising tailback to replace league-bound Devin Neal. He rushed for 821 yards on 4.8 yards per carry in 2023, which earned him All-Big Ten honorable mention recognition.

Team total: 26 transfers

Game 3: Louisiana QB Walker Howard (Ole Miss)

The former blue-chip prospect has played reserve minutes at both LSU and Ole Miss and will likely get his chance as a starter in his hometown with the Ragin’ Cajuns. Howard was a former top 50 player in his class but has only thrown 10 passes in his three-year college career.

Team total: 7 transfers

Game 4: South Carolina RB Rahsul Faison (Utah State)

The Gamecocks…
