COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri outside linebacker Triston Newson is expected return to the team for the 2025 season, using an added year of eligibility granted by a change in NCAA policy.
Newson is among the college players able to play another year after the NCAA in December waived rules around junior college seasons counting toward eligibility following a legal challenge. With his return, Mizzou will retain an experienced defensive starter for 2025.
After weighing his options, MU now expects Newson to be part of the team in 2025, a source familiar with his decision told the Post-Dispatch.
