With only a few days left for football players to enter the transfer portal (the window closes on April 30), it’s clear that this iteration of transfer season is much more subdued than the December/January window. There are fewer athletes entering the portal than this past winter and the Mizzou staff appears like they are looking to add fewer players to their roster as well.
One big reason contributing to this slower transfer season is the SEC rule that prohibits transfers from SEC schools from being immediately eligible at other SEC schools. While the NCAA allows all transfers to be immediately eligible, the SEC has a conference-specific rule meant to reduce intra-conference transfers this late in the spring.
