Missouri football adds Mississippi State OL Luke Work from portal

1 day ago 1

Missouri football has made an addition along its offensive line.

The Tigers have added Mississippi State transfer offensive lineman Luke Work out of the transfer portal, which marks MU’s first addition up front since the portal opened Jan. 2. Work announced his commitment to Mizzou on his personal X/Twitter account.

Missouri is now up to eight total commitments out of the portal.

Work appeared in nine games for the Bulldogs in the 2025 season, starting once. He forged out a starting role in Starkville as a true freshman in 2024, and has played 488 total snaps over two seasons.

It’s not clear exactly where Work will do his work. He has been a versatile player over two seasons in college.

The Somerville, Tennessee native, who was a three-star prospect in the Class of 2024, started games at both left and right tackle for the Bulldogs in 2024.

In 2025, he played every at least 45 snaps at every position along the offensive line except for center.

Work is listed at 6 foot 6, 315 pounds by the Bulldogs.

In 74 pass blocking snaps last season, Pro Football Focus tagged Work for allowing four QB pressures and just one sack. All of those came in the same game against Texas A&M, when he started and played the full matchup at right tackle.

Mizzou needs, and likely will target, multiple offensive linemen in this transfer window.

At the top of the priority list is a starting right tackle and a player who could potentially start at guard. Starting right tackle Keagen Trost and starting center Connor Tollison are out of eligibility.

Missouri will return starting left tackle Cayden Green, right guard Curtis Peagler and left guard Dominick Giudice. Giudice is widely expected to start at center next season.
