Two key Missouri Tigers football players, Damon Wilson II and Nate Johnson, are entering the NCAA transfer portal, signaling significant roster shifts for the team. Damon Wilson II, Missouri's top edge rusher in 2025, transferred from Georgia and recorded nine sacks, 23 tackles, and 54 pressures in the season. Wilson, a highly-rated prospect and former Georgia player, is involved in a legal dispute with Georgia over a transfer-related damages claim. His departure is considered one of the biggest losses in Missouri transfer portal history, with potential destinations likely to be schools with a history in the College Football Playoff. Nate Johnson, a defensive end, played only one season at Missouri after transferring from Appalachian State. He appeared in nine games with six tackles and is expected to re-enter the portal, seeking a new program with one season of eligibility remaining. Johnson was a standout at Appalachian State, leading in sacks in 2023. The Tigers are experiencing a broader roster overhaul, with multiple players including Zion Young, Marvin Burks Jr., and others leaving the team. Missouri is expected to add new talent through the transfer portal, especially at the edge rusher position, with potential targets like Florida's Jayden Woods and Ohio State's Logan George. Additional roster moves include the departure of reserve offensive linemen and running backs, with Missouri planning to replace key wide receivers and quarterbacks. The team aims to rebuild its roster for the upcoming season amidst ongoing transfer activity.
