Missouri quarterback Aidan Glover enters NCAA transfer portal

According to On3’s Pete Nakos, Missouri quarterback Aidan Glover has entered the NCAA transfer portal. Glover previously announced his intention to leave the program but is now officially on the open market. Just one season was spent with the Tigers.

During his lone season with Mizzou, Glover was not able to make it into a game. Brady Cook spent most of the year as the starter. Even when Cook went down with an injury, it was Drew Pyne backing him up and playing a key role for Eli Drinkwitz‘s squad.

Glover played high school football at Collierville (TN), where he was a three-star prospect. He was the No. 559 overall recruit in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Looking back on his high school recruitment, three other schools were involved before Missouri wound up being the choice. Boston College, Oklahoma State, and Stanford were also battling for Glover’s signature.

They will have another chance at recruiting the quarterback thanks to his portal entry. Glover is officially on the open market with four years of eligibility remaining.

Missouri gains commitment from West Virginia transfer linebacker

Former West Virginia linebacker Josiah Trotter has committed to Missouri, according to On3’s Hayes Fawcett. Trotter finished second on the West Virginia team last season 92 tackles, including 4 tackles for loss.

He is the son of NFL legend Jeremiah Trotter and the brother of former Clemson linebacker and current Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr.

Josiah Trotter is a former three-star recruit who was ranked as the No. 53 linebacker in the country in the class of 2023, per the On3 Industry Rankings.

He was injured and missed all of the 2023 season, before having a breakout year in 2024. Now he is joining a Missouri program that is looking to build off of another strong season.
