COLUMBIA, Mo. – Let the chaos begin. 

Missouri Football's 2025 regular season is over, ending with an expected but emphatic win over Arkansas. The Tigers end the season 8-4, their third consecutive season with a winning record and fifth consecutive season with a bowl game. 

Head Coach Eli Drinkwitz signed an extension to stay with the program through the 2031 season, earning himself a raise and Missouri a safety net of a proven Southeastern Conference caliber leader. 

If Drinkwitz left the program, he likely would've brought dozens of current Tigers with him to his new team in the ever-so-active transfer portal. Luckily for Missouri, that's not the case, and it will benefit from Drinkwitz' pull for retention. Even so, the portal cycle is the most chaotic time of the season, and Missouri will need to be ready to reshape its roster on a whim. 

"In one sense it's going to be really good because you only have to deal with the madness and the negotiations and all that one time," Drinkwitz said Nov. 25.  "In another sense, it's terrible... there is not a better sport in the country than college football, and for whatever reason, we just keep shooting ourselves in the foot. How we manage it, it's mind-blowing to me."

Whether he likes it or not, Drinkwitz and his Tigers will be forced to play their part in it. 

This year's transfer portal cycle officially opens on Jan. 2, but the majority of players planning to enter the portal will likely start to declare intentions as soon as Nov. 30 – some have already done so, stepping away from their teams mid-season. 

Missouri has plenty of experience in the transfer portal, especially in the last season's cycle. The Tigers brought in stars like Ahmad Hardy, Josiah Trotter and Damon Wilson II, and lost promising prospects like Williams Nwaneri, Kewan Lacy and Jakai Lang. 

That's the case for Missouri safety Caleb Flagg, who announced his intent to enter the portal Sept. 30. He's the first of many Tigers to do so. 

Follow along here for every transfer portal departure Missouri loses, and addition it brings in.
