Missouri football program faces expected losses as transfer portal opening approaches. Cornerback Ja’Marion Wayne and linebacker Mikai Gbayor plan to enter the portal next week, with Gbayor’s decision causing a stir as he had recently transferred to Mizzou from Nebraska and will be leaving without playing a single snap for the Tigers. Changes in the linebacker room led to Gbayor’s decision, as a new player became eligible to play and underclassmen showed improvement, limiting his playing time opportunities. Wayne, a former wide receiver, never cracked the cornerback rotation and will also be entering the portal along with defensive end Jahkai Lang. Backup quarterback Drew Pyne has already transferred to Bowling Green. Coach Eli Drinkwitz anticipates losing around eight players in total to the portal this spring. Stay tuned for more updates on the Missouri football program as the transfer portal opens next week.
