Missouri center Talan Chandler plans to enter NCAA transfer portal

Missouri center Talan Chandler plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal, according to an announcement on his Facebook. He has four years of eligibility left.

As a member of the Class of 2024, Chandler was a three-star recruit out of Nevada (Mo.) High, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 13 overall prospect in the state, the No. 70 interior offensive lineman in the class and the No. 801 overall prospect in the class.
