Missouri is looking to add to its offensive line ranks through the transfer portal with the program working to build on its 1st season in a New Year’s 6 bowl. Makylan Pounders, who spent 3 seasons with Memphis before entering the transfer portal, announced through a post on X that he will officially visit Missouri on January 5.

A Byhailia, Miss. product, Pounders signed with the Tigers out of the class of 2021. He redshirted as a true freshman and suffered injury in 2022 before becoming a key contributor up front in 2023, settling in at left tackle.

He has received interest from SEC programs with Auburn and South Carolina extending offers. He took a visit to Auburn a few days ago and, according to On3, could also take one to Mississippi State.

Mizzou is currently 10-2 and will look to claim its 1st 11-win season in nearly a decade with a win over Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl Classic. Head coach Eli Drinkwitz was named the SEC Coach of the Year for his efforts.
