Missouri has made a key addition to its 2026 transfer class, announcing the commitment of wide receiver Caleb Goodie from the University of Cincinnati. The move comes as the Tigers work aggressively to address positions of need through the transfer portal, with Goodie joining Jahlil Florence from Oregon as the program’s second portal addition of the cycle.
Goodie, who served as Cincinnati’s second-leading receiver in 2025, caught 29 passes for 484 yards and two touchdowns last season. Known for his top-end speed and ability to stretch the field, he was often targeted on deep routes by now-Red Raider quarterback Brendan Sorsby. At 6-foot-1, Goodie brings the combination of size, athleticism, and playmaking ability that Missouri hopes will enhance its receiving corps immediately.
The talented wideout will have two years of eligibility remaining at Mizzou, giving the Tigers an experienced option in the passing game as they prepare for the 2026 season. Goodie’s arrival is expected to provide depth on the outside, complementing existing targets and adding a vertical threat capable of creating big plays.
Missouri has emphasized using the transfer portal strategically to fill gaps and accelerate its roster building, and Goodie fits the profile of an athlete who can make an immediate impact. His commitment comes as the Tigers look to balance experience and youth, bringing in proven players from competitive programs to help elevate the team in the SEC.
Goodie joins a Tigers’ team that has been active in the portal early, signaling head coach Eliah Johnson’s intent to address critical needs quickly. With Goodie and Florence in the fold, Missouri now has talented options at receiver who can compete immediately, giving the coaching staff flexibility in offensive schemes and matchups for the upcoming season.
Fans can expect Goodie to be an integral part of Mizzou’s offense in 2026, particularly on deep passing plays where his speed and field-stretching ability can create scoring opportunities. His arrival marks another step in Missouri’s aggressive offseason strategy to strengthen its roster through the transfer portal.
