Missouri forward has entered the transfer portal, according to a report from Sam Kayser of League Ready. He has also applied for a medical redshirt in hopes of securing an extra year of eligibility, which would be required for him to play with another team.
However, Porter doesn’t automatically meet the criteria for a medical redshirt. He appeared in 12 of Missouri’s 33 games during the 2025–26 season (36.3%), exceeding the 30% threshold needed for automatic qualification.
His season was cut short after suffering a leg injury in practice ahead of Missouri’s matchup with Illinois, causing him to miss the rest of conference play and the Tigers’ loss in that game.
Porter is the second Missouri player to enter the transfer portal while seeking an additional year of eligibility, following forward Jacob Crews.
He joined Missouri for his senior season after previously playing at Loyola Marymount as a junior and spending his first two college years at Pepperdine. Porter also comes from a basketball family, as his older brothers, Michael Porter Jr. and Jontay Porter, both played for Missouri.
During his time with the Tigers, Porter started 10 games and averaged 6.2 points, four rebounds, and 1.6 assists across 12 appearances. His most productive season came at Loyola Marymount, where he posted averages of 12.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game.
Missouri has had a busy transfer portal period thus far. Porter is the fifth Tiger to enter the portal, joining guard Anthony Robinson II, guard T.O. Barrett, guard Sebastian Mack and Crews. Missouri has made three additions up to this point, including forwards Jamier Jones, Jaylen Carey and Bryson Tiller.
