Missouri safety and multi-year starter Marvin Burks Jr. is entering the NCAA Transfer Portal, according to a report from PowerMizzou.com.
Burks, a St. Louis native, appeared in 39 games over the past three years and started all but one contest each of the past two seasons. His decision comes as a major surprise, with the 6-foot-1, 205-pounder in line to start again next season as a senior.

Across his three years in Columbia, Burks notched 131 tackles, 4 TFLs and a pair of interceptions for the Tigers. This season, he led the team in snaps played and finished with 49 total takedowns, good for fourth-best on the team.
Missouri’s defense was among the best in the country in 2025, holding opponents to just 181.8 passing yards per game — 18th best in the nation.
Burks was a four-star prospect coming out of high school, starring at Cardinal Ritter College Prep (Mo.). He was originally committed to Ole Miss, but flipped his pledge a few weeks before National Signing Day in 2022 to the home-state Tigers.
