Mizzou adds young defensive lineman, linebacker out of transfer portal

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Add two tallies to the transfer portal column.

Missouri's Eli Drinkwitz continued his ongoing run of player acquisition success with a double commitment Thursday evening, bolstering his program with incoming transfers.

Linebacker Jeremiah Beasley, a freshman at Michigan, picked the Tigers out of the transfer portal. Georgia Tech defensive lineman Eddie Kelly followed suit by committing to Mizzou.

Kelly spent one season with the Yellow Jackets after playing his freshman year at South Florida. He ranked second among Georgia Tech's defensive linemen last season with 36 total tackles.

Though he was recruited as a defensive end, Kelly can also easily slot inside to a defensive tackle spot.
