As confirmed by most of the Mizzou beat on Friday morning, quarterback Taylor Powell will be transferring from Missouri, effective immediately.
The timing of the transfer seems a little odd, unless he received news that he wouldn’t be starting and was truly holding out hope that he would. But transferring during the season means he won’t play at all, whereas staying on the Tigers’ roster would have given him some opportunities to do so. Regardless of why, the official Missouri roster has him gone so it doesn’t seem to matter at this point.
