Missouri Tigers

As of Sunday afternoon, Missouri has made 23 transfer portal additions.

Even if the Tigers haven't hit many home runs with the additions, they've been able to fill some of their obvious needs, including at quarterback, runningback and safety. But a few positions stick out where Missouri still needs to make significant additions.

The deadline for players to enter the transfer portal was Friday, but teams are still putting together their portal classes.

Watch the video above as Missouri football reporter Joey Van Zummeren gives his thoughts on where the Tigers still need to make more additions.
