2025 Missouri Jersey Numbers for Transfers, Freshmen

Loyola Marymount transfer Jevon Porter was able to return to the No. 14, which he wore at Fr. Tolton Catholic High School in Columbia.

Jayden Stone also wore No. 14 at his previous school, West Virginia, so opted to go with No. 17 instead.

Arizona State transfer was able to return to the No. 15 he wore in high school after going with different numbers in the first three years of his collegiate career.

Missouri's 2025 transfer class was rated at No. 57 on 247Sports' team rankings. The two freshmen were both composite three-star prospects.

Neither the transfer nor freshman class was nearly as flashy as head coach Dennis Gates' previous hauls with Missouri. But, Gates and his staff wanted to be intentional with each of the additions.

"We want to find guys that really, extenuate our core values of friendship, love, accountability, trust, discipline, unselfishness, enthusiasm and toughness," Gates said in a press conference on April 30. "Every team will always have holes in their armor. We wanna make sure those holes are very minimal."

Additionally, the Tigers will be especially relying on the development of returning players.

"The other part of it that we have to understand is player development," Gates said. "Player development is at an all-time high. Because once you retain, you have a group of guys that you're able to now, share your culture, share your mantra, and they get to pass that to the new guys."

Missouri will begin its season Nov. 3, travelling to the nation's capital to play Howard.
