Jalen Catalon Signs with Missouri Football

Missouri football has signed safety Jalen Catalon from UNLV, marking their 15th addition from the transfer portal this offseason. Catalon, a third-team AP All-American and first-team All-Mountain West selection, recorded 96 tackles and five interceptions in 2024, showcasing significant experience after playing previously at Arkansas and Texas. This will be Catalon's seventh season in college football, as he is eligible due to redshirting and receiving waivers for injuries. With Missouri losing three core safeties, Catalon is expected to play a vital role in the Tigers' revamped secondary. He joins fellow transfers Santana Banner and Mose Phillips III, reinforcing the team's defensive lineup. Catalon's journey reflects a productive career across multiple programs, highlighting his resilience and skill on the field.
