Missouri forward Jevon Porter has decided to enter the transfer portal after a season where he recorded averages of 6.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.6 assists over 12 games. In addition, Porter is requesting a waiver for another year of eligibility despite having played in 36.3% of the team's games, which complicates his chances for a medical redshirt. The 6-foot-11 player previously played at Loyola Marymount and Pepperdine before transferring to Mizzou. Porter joins teammate Jacob Crews, who is also attempting to gain an extra year of eligibility. The Tigers aim to extend their NCAA Tournament presence next season.

  • The Tigers will need to adjust their roster while aiming for a deeper NCAA Tournament run next year.
What's Next

Porter's future now depends on the NCAA's decision regarding his waiver request, while Mizzou prepares for roster changes ahead of next season. If granted, a medical redshirt would allow him to participate in one more season, likely alongside new recruits or transfers.
