The 2021 Missouri recruiting class got an unexpected shot in the arm on Friday when the transfer portal warped Oklahoma offensive lineman E.J. Ndoma-Ogar into the ‘21 class of new Tigers. Transfers don’t count towards any recruiting rankings but bringing in a blue-chip offensive lineman is never a bad thing.
According to Rivals, Missouri’s ‘21 recruiting class ranks an unprecedented 21st; as a reminder, Missouri’s past four recruiting classes ranked 54th, 34th, 39th, and 49th so this is unfamiliar territory. In fact, the last time Missouri brought in a recruiting class better than 27th was in 2010, also ranking 21st.
