Missouri hosted Oklahoma graduate transfer Alex Ross this weekend

Mizzou Visitors

Alex Ross is a 6'1, 227-pound former running back and returner for Oklahoma and requested a graduate transfer. Ross reportedly visited Missouri this weekend. He would be a massive addition to the running game, as he would be eligible to play in 2016.

Ross was electric as a returner, averaging 31.2 per kick return as a sophomore, and could add a great deal of speed to special teams. We will keep you updated as the situation unfolds.

So Mizzou could be adding an immediately eligible RB, 6'1, 227 lbs former Sooner Alex Ross. Would fill last open scholarship.

A 2012 recruit, Ross was 247sports' #1 player in Oklahoma and the #6 running back in the nation in that class. He had 595 yards on 88 carries as a sophomore but ended up behind Sooner standouts Samaje Perine and Joe Mixon in 2015.

Mizzou on the radar
