What Position Did Mizzou Improve the Most Through the Transfer Portal? - The Extra Point

In this story:
After losing 12 starters and a number of other important role players and developmental projects, the Missouri Tigers were bound to have to heavily retool their roster through the transfer portal.
As team's round out their final additions from the spring window of the portal, Missouri has checked off the boxes it needed to in order to replace those departing players.
But, with so much turnover, where did the Tigers not only replace talent, but actually improve from their 2024 group?
Watch the video below as Missouri football reporter Joey Van Zummeren gives his thoughts on what position the Tigers improved the most through this year's transfer portal cycle.
