Missouri wide receiver Marquis Johnson is set to enter the transfer portal when it opens on January 2, as confirmed by his father. Johnson's departure marks the third wide receiver and seventh overall player from Missouri to enter the transfer portal this offseason, highlighting a significant roster shift. The transfer window for entries will remain open until January 16, impacting team compositions for the upcoming season.

Johnson, a junior this past season, will have one year of eligibility remaining. He initially showed promise as a true freshman in 2023, contributing 383 receiving yards and three touchdowns with an impressive 29.5 yards per catch average. However, his production declined in subsequent seasons, and he lost his starting position in November, playing limited snaps in the team's final four regular-season games.
