Former Mizzou Player Mark Mitchell Enters Transfer Portal After Receiving Fifth Year of Eligibility
The former Mizzou forward is weighing multiple schools after a court ruling gave players from the 2022 class one more season.
- On Friday, July 31, 2026, a federal court granted former Mizzou men's basketball player Mark Mitchell a fifth year of eligibility, prompting him to enter the transfer portal shortly thereafter.
- The U.S. District Court of Colorado issued a class-wide preliminary injunction allowing student-athletes from the 2022 high school recruiting class who exhausted their four seasons to return for an extra year.
- Mitchell played two seasons at Duke before spending two years at Mizzou, where he was a two-time All-SEC selection. He recently signed an Exhibit-10 deal with the Denver Nuggets.
- Eligible athletes may enter the transfer portal from August 3 to August 10. Mitchell is the second Mizzou player granted eligibility this month, joining Shawn Phillips Jr., who received a similar order in Ohio.
- Reports indicate Mitchell has spoken with multiple schools regarding his options. His decision creates a potential roster spot opening for Mizzou basketball coach Dennis Gates to fill during the transfer period.
