COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri football dipped into the transfer portal for the second consecutive day Saturday, picking up a commitment from Illinois State wide receiver Xavier Loyd.
Loyd, who committed quickly after visiting Mizzou this week, will provide the Tigers with added size and depth in its wide receiver corps, which underwent quite a bit of turnover this offseason.
Listed at 6-2, 195 pounds, Loyd caught 66 passes for 912 yards and six touchdowns at Illinois State this past season. While he'll be bouncing back up to the Football Bowl Subdivision level with MU, he's been there before — Loyd started his collegiate career with two seasons at Kansas State.
