Transfer Portal 2026: Tracking Mizzou Football

UPDATED 1/17/26

Consider this your one stop shop for all things transfer portal as it pertains to Mizzou Football. Let’s start with setting the table on who’s expected on the roster next season. As it’s been publicly announced, Missouri has re-signed a bunch of players ahead of the 2026 season. Here are the players you don’t have to worry about entering the portal and finding a new home for this upcoming year:

• QB Matt Zollers
• RBs Ahmad Hardy and Jamal Roberts
• WRs Donovan Olugbode, Demarion Fowlkes (return specialist) and Shaun Terry II
• TEs Brett Norfleet, Jordon Harris and Jude James
• OL Whit Hafer, Jack Lange, Sam Williams, Brett Le Blanc, Logan Reihert, Tristan Wilson and Cayden Green (no confirmed re-signing for Green, report says he is staying)
• LBs Nicholas Rodriguez, Dante McClellan, Jeremiah Beasley and Brian Huff
• DTs Marquis Gracial, Jalen Marshall, Jason Dowell and Elias Williams
• CB Nick Deloach Jr.
• S Trajen Greco, CJ Bass III and Santana Banner
• DEs Darris Smith and Langden Kitchen
• K Blake Craig
• For more information on new re-signees, check out the RM+ forum here.

While it’s a good foundation, there are still plenty of holes to fill on the team ahead of the 2026 season. Here’s a list of the guys who are hitting the portal this offseason to find new homes:

• QB Beau Pribula
• RBs Brendon Haygood, Marquise Davis and Tavorus Jones
• WRs James Madison II, Joshua Manning and Marquis Johnson
• OL Henry Fenuku, Johnny Williams IV, Jayven Richardson, Brandon Solis, Jaylen Early, Keiton Jones and Justin Bodford
• DEs Javion Hilson and Nate Johnson
• EDGE Damon Wilson II
• CB Mark Manfred III and Shamar McNeil
• S Marvin Burks Jr., CJ Bass, Caleb Flagg
• K Robert Meyer
• For more information on where these guys might land, check out the RM+ forum here.

As a reminder, the Tigers also will be without a bunch of seniors who used up their last season of eligibility this year. These ones hurt but all good things must come to an end:

• QB Tommy Lock
• WRs Kevin Coleman Jr., Xavier Loyd and Logan Muckey
• TE Vince Brown II
• OL Connor Tollison, Keagan Trost and Henry McDermott
• LBs Triston Newson and Khalil Jacobs
• DTs Bralen Henderson, Chris McClellan and Sterling Webb
• DE Zion Young
• CBs Stephen Hall, Dreyden Norwood and Toriano Pride
• S Daylan Carnell and Jalen Catalon
• P Connor Weselman

Yes, so, plenty of holes to fill.

Needs

While there are plenty of needs on the team, there are a few that stick out specifically to me. I dive more into this on my column from a few days ago, but the positions that are going to be crucial to next season’s success are quarterback, wide receiver, defensive line and corner back.

A majority of Mizzou’s success came from splash plays from these positions — let’s ignore Ahmad Hardy for a second — and the Tigers are losing pretty much their entire position rooms.
