Graduate transfers can always impact a program and inject some life at a position instantly. Here are a few of the bigger names that have transferred so far and how we saw them coming out of high school.
ALEX OFODILE -- OREGON TO MISSOURI
As a recruit: One of the top players in the state of Missouri, Ofodile spurned the in-state Tigers as well as programs from all over the country in favor of Oregon, committing to the Ducks in the summer prior to his senior year.
As a Duck: Ofodile’s career in Eugene never really got a chance to get going, as injuries consistently derailed his momentum. After redshirting in 2015, he saw limited playing time in 2016 and 2017, catching four passes for 31 yards in those two seasons combined. Ofodile elected to transfer back to Missouri and join his father, A.J., the Tigers' wide receivers coach, for his final two years of college eligibility.
Farrell’s take: Ofodile always had talent and good size. He just lacked elite quickness. However, we still had him as a Rivals250 prospect because we felt he would be an excellent 50/50 ball kid and red zone threat, as well as a chain mover. He should fit in much better with the Mizzou offense than he did in Oregon, and this could be a great get with his father working with him.
