When the spring transfer portal window opened eight days ago, I wrote that one thing Eli Drinkwitz and the staff should try to do is land a “big fish”:
...if possible, Mizzou should aim to keep the hype train rolling by reeling in another big fish and cementing its status as a desirable destination for top college talent.
Consider the big fish landed. On Wednesday evening, Mizzou secured the commitment of one of the top available OL transfers in the portal, SMU’s Marcus Bryant.

Bryant was a First Team All-AAC selection in 2023, leading the champion Mustangs’ line from the left tackle spot.
