Missouri Tigers Running Backs Enter Transfer Portal: A Shift in College Football Landscape
The Missouri Tigers running back scene is undergoing a significant change as both true freshman Marquise Davis and redshirt freshman James Madison the Second have announced their intentions to enter the transfer portal. This decision comes as the college football transfer portal dates have been adjusted, with the portal opening on January 2nd and closing on January 16th. The elimination of the spring portal period adds more weight to these early announcements. Despite Daviss limited playing time this season, the Tigers running back room remains strong with established players like Ahmad Hardy and Jamal Roberts. The team might now consider adding another depth piece through the transfer portal.
