The Tigers are making moves again, and added two more transfers Wednesday afternoon. After a slow start, Mizzou now has added eight new players over the last three days. Their newest additions will help to fill key holes on the roster.
According to Hawes Fawcett, Missouri has landed Auburn cornerback Kensley Louidor-Faustin. The 5-foot-11, 183-pound defensive back had 20 tackles, one interception, one sack and three tackles for loss this past season with Auburn.
Meanwhile, Mississippi State offensive lineman Luke Work posted on social media that he has committed to the Tigers. Work had 10 starts over his first two seasons with the Bulldogs.
Tigers add two more transfers on Wednesday that can help immediately
Louidor-Faustin has primarily played slot corner, and should slide in to help the Tigers in a similar way after Mizzou lost starter Daylen Carnell. The Auburn transfer was a three-star recruit coming out of high school, and was originially offered by Missouri. Now, he'll join fellow teammate Robert Woodyard Jr. in Columbia.
On the other side of the ball, Work is the first offensive lineman to commit to the Tigers this portal cycle. He's extremely versatile, having started games at both left and right tackle as well as guard for the Bulldogs. Outside of star tackle Cayden Green, Mizzou has mostly been decimated on the offensive line, losing eight total players to graduation or the portal. Work will be a nice depth piece and provide the ability to fill-in virtually anywhere he's needed.
Drinkwitz has had a nice week so far, adding players in big areas of need. According to 247Sports' rankings, they now have the No. 20 portal class so far.
