COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri men's basketball has brought in its first transfer of the offseason: Jevon Porter.
A member of the Porter family who played his high school basketball in Columbia, Jevon Porter will reportedly play his fourth season of college ball for the Tigers. ESPN first reported his commitment.
He spent his first two seasons at Pepperdine, then transferred a year ago to Loyola Marymount. Mizzou was in the mix for him at the time, but amid his older brother's involvement in a sports betting scandal, Porter opted to remain out west.
He started 30 games for the Lions, playing more than 30 minutes per game.
