SEC football, considered by most the best conference in the world among their respective sport, will welcome two of the game’s most storied programs to their ranks next fall, the Oklahoma Sooners and the Texas Longhorns. The hyper-competitive SEC will continue to feature the Georgia Bulldogs, the LSU Tigers, and the Alabama Crimson Tide, winners of four of the last five College Football Playoff titles. Many of the top schools in the conference persist in retooling for an undoubtedly hectic 2024 campaign. However, one school lost a trio of players to the transfer portal on Monday.
According to Matt Zenitz of 247Sports, the Missouri Tigers watched three players enter the transfer portal. Missouri looks to compete for the SEC title next season after an 11-2 record in 2023. Since starting play within the SEC football ranks in 2012, the Tigers have made two conference championships, failing to win either.
The Missouri Tigers, no longer the newest member of the SEC football class come next fall, lost a trio of players to the transfer portal on Monday. According to reports, tight end Ryan Hoerstkamp, defensive lineman Ky Montgomery, and running back Michael Cox are all set to enter the transfer portal.
Hoerstkamp has played at Missouri since 2021. The tight end did not register any statistics during his inaugural season with the Tigers but caught two passes for 32 yards and a touchdown as a sophomore. However, he did not see an increase in playing time last season, appearing in just one game while failing to record a catch. Meanwhile, Montgomery, a former three-star prospect per 247Sports, redshirted as a freshman in 2021. However, he has not seen game action over the past three seasons. He has two years of eligibility remaining.
