Major news alert for Missouri Tigers fans! The team just snagged former Florida wide receiver, Naeshaun Montgomery, via the transfer portal. This move could significantly impact the Tigers' offensive game plan.
Montgomery, who shared his commitment with PowerMizzou.com during his official visit, is a promising addition to the roster.
This young talent, standing at 6-foot-1 and weighing 189 pounds, is coming off his freshman season with the Gators. In his time with Florida, he made a notable impact, catching three passes for 26 yards across four games, while also preserving his redshirt status. This means he still has multiple years of eligibility, which is a huge win for Missouri.
But here's where it gets interesting: Montgomery was a highly-regarded recruit. He was a three-star recruit coming out of Miami Central. He was ranked as the No. 59 wide receiver nationally and the No. 53 recruit in the state of Florida. During his recruitment, he had a lot of options, taking official visits to schools like Washington, Ole Miss, Alabama, and Louisville before ultimately choosing Florida.
And this is the part most people miss: Montgomery's arrival marks the third wide receiver transfer portal acquisition for Missouri this offseason, joining Caleb Goodie from Cincinnati and Horatio Fields from Auburn. He is also the 11th overall commitment via the portal.
