Major news for Mizzou football fans! The Tigers are leveling up their game with a key addition to their special teams and defense.
On Tuesday, January 13, 2026, linebacker Cavan Tuley, formerly of the Houston Cougars, officially committed to Missouri for the upcoming 2026 season. This is a strategic move to strengthen the team.
Tuley's experience speaks volumes. During the 2025 season at Houston, he played in 11 out of 12 games, contributing significantly with 111 snaps on special teams. He was a crucial part of the Cougars' unit that dominated the Big 12 in punt return defense. His defensive prowess was evident in Houston's 24-19 victory over Kansas State, where he made a tackle.
And this is the part most people miss... Tuley brings valuable experience and skill to Mizzou. He'll have two years of eligibility remaining, giving the Tigers a solid player for the seasons ahead.
But here's where it gets controversial... What impact will Tuley have on the field? Will his special teams expertise be the game-changer Mizzou needs? What do you think about this addition to the team? Share your thoughts below!
