Let’s face it: the spring transfer window isn’t sexy or exciting unless you’re one of those schools with an unlimited NIL budget and a line of boosters waiting to throw their ill-gotten gains into a Scrooge-McDuck-like vault for program building.
No, the spring portal is about sculpting the roster after the early work of spring camp. It’s about margins. It’s about detail.
But when you’re a school like Missouri, which gets the majority of its transfer business out the way early, you have to seize opportunities when they fall into your lap. And when that opportunity comes in the form of a highly-graded offensive tackle with starting experience at a football blue blood, you snap it up without a second thought.
