Illinois State transfer wide receiver Xavier Loyd signed with Missouri after receiving interest from several other schools, including Oklahoma, Louisville, and Wisconsin. Loyd had a breakout season at Illinois State with 66 receptions, 912 yards, and six touchdowns, leading to him entering the transfer portal. He began his college career at Kansas State but saw limited playing time before transferring.
Loyd’s decision to join Missouri for his final season of eligibility comes as the team looks to replace the production of NFL draft picks Theo Wease and Luther Burden. Missouri finished the previous season with a 10-3 record and is seeking to continue their success with Loyd’s addition to the roster.
Wisconsin, on the other hand, is in need of wide receiver depth after the departure of several players through the transfer portal. Loyd was reportedly one of three wide receiver transfer prospects that the Badgers were interested in, alongside Quaron Adams and Karmello English. Loyd’s decision to join Missouri may have been influenced by the potential for a starting role in their lineup.
