Wanted to throw in another ESPN+ excerpt mentioning a current and former Tiger. Will continue to do this as I see things come up over the course of the season. Premise of the article is ranking best true freshman, and transfers on the same list. Caleb Williams and Jordan Addison were #1 and #2 on the list going to USC.
20. DL Mekhi Wingo
Transferred to LSU from Missouri
Wingo was one of the more sought-after defensive line transfers and adds to the options up front for Kelly and his staff. The Tigers lost Neil Farrell Jr. and Joseph Evans at defensive tackle, but have Jaquelin Roy and Maason Smith coming back. Wingo can add to that group and provide an excellent rotation along the defensive line.
32. WR Luther Burden III
Missouri | 2022 ESPN 300 ranking: 5
Burden was a five-star receiver in the 2022 class out of East St. Louis, Illinois. He's a 6-1, 195-pound prospect who has an opportunity to instantly help an offense that ranked No. 66 in pass yards per game and lost its starting quarterback. Missouri is returning a few of its receivers from last season, but Burden has the talent to compete with anyone currently on the roster.
