COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri defensive end Williams Nwaneri is reportedly set to enter the transfer portal after just one season with the Tigers.
Nwaneri, a five-star recruit a year ago, was the centerpiece of Mizzou's 2024 recruiting class. As a prospect out of Lee's Summit, he was rated as the best edge rusher in the class and one of the best players at any position.
But he didn't see the field much during his freshman season. Still, Nwaneri's departure could wind up a blow to the Tigers' developmental plans and the future of their defense.
The On3 recruiting service first reported Nwaneri's intent to enter the portal.
