Mizzou Freshman Lacy Enters Transfer Portal

Missouri freshman running back Kewan Lacy is entering the transfer portal after a promising but brief stint with the Tigers, where he played six games and recorded 104 rushing yards on 23 carries. Lacy's decision is unexpected, as he was anticipated to play a significant role in Missouri's backfield next season following the departures of Nate Noel and Marcus Carroll. His departure marks the third member of the 2024 recruiting class to transfer, alongside Williams Nwaneri and Jaylen Brown. Amidst these losses, Missouri has bolstered its roster by adding Northern Illinois safety Santana Banner and Nebraska linebacker Mikai Gbayor through the transfer portal. The Tigers are also hosting former Army running back Kanye Udoh for a visit, who had an impressive season with 1,117 yards and 10 touchdowns. This strategic recruitment aims to address the potential void in the running back position following Lacy's exit.
