Twenty-three true freshmen, 28 transfer additions. Add it all up, and there are 51 scholarship newcomers arriving in Columbia, Missouri, to play for Missouri football in the 2026 season.
Mizzou officially signed four players on National Signing Day, which took its 2026 recruiting class — the bulk of which signed during the early signing period in December — to 23 total players.
With roster limits moving back up from 85 to 105 spots in 2026 in the SEC, the Tigers mostly targeted in-state products in its last high-school recruiting stretch to fill out some open spots.
All of that followed a frantic few weeks in the transfer portal, which saw 26 players leave Columbia and 28 players sign on to play for Eli Drinkwitz’s team in his seventh season as Missouri’s head coach.
And that, excluding any late surprises, is that. The Missouri roster is more or less finalized, meaning the recruiting attention turns to the Class of 2027.
Now that the action is likely finished for 2026, here’s where Mizzou’s high school signing class and transfer portal haul rank according to the major recruiting services:
