Barkley-Truaxby: Barkley Truax01/24/26BarkleyTruax

Former Miami linebacker Bobby Washington Jr. has signed with Missouri out of the NCAA transfer portal, On3 has learned. Washington entered the portal the day after the national championship game.

In three seasons at Miami, Washington made 14 appearances. He recorded seven total tackles and was credited for half a sack. He redshirted his true freshman season after only making four appearances.

Bobby Washington Jr. played high school football at Miami Palmetto (FL), where he was a three-star recruit. He was the No. 455 overall player and No. 46 linebacker in the 2023 recruiting cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Rankings, which is a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services.

He left behind a Miami squad that is coming off a deep run to the College Football Playoff national championship game. The Hurricanes ended just short of winning it all, eventually losing to Indiana 27-21 on Jan. 19.

Now, he’s the 27th player to commit to Eli Drinkwitz’s transfer portal class this cycle. It’s currently ranked 58th in the country as of this writing. In turn, they’ve lost 26 players.

Miami LB Malik Bryant also signed with Missouri

On Friday, former Miami linebacker Malik Bryant has signed with Missouri out of the NCAA Transfer Portal, according to On3’s Pete Nakos. Bryant, a junior last season, has two seasons of eligibility in Columbia after earning a redshirt with just four games played in 2025.

Now, Washington follows suit to join his fellow linebacker to Columbia. For Bryant, he officially entered the portal on Wednesday with a do-not-contact tag on his profile. Bryant appeared in just four games this past season, finishing with two total tackles. After appearing in eight games as a true freshman in 2023, Bryant played in 12 games in 2024 as a sophomore, finishing with 17 total tackles, five tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks that season.
