Peyton Marshall is leaving Mizzou to continue his college basketball career elsewhere after 1 season with the program.
Marshall took to social media on Sunday to share a note announcing his decision to enter the transfer portal. He thanked coach Dennis Gates for the opportunity to play at Mizzou.
After a lot of thought, prayer, and conversations with my family and those I trust the most, I have decided to enter my name into the NCAA Transfer Portal.
“This past year at the University of Missouri has been a time of growth, learning, and valuable experience both on and off the court. I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity to have worn that Missouri jersey and represent such a proud program.
“To Coach Gates – thank you for believing in me, for challenging me to grow, and for welcoming me into your program and your culture. I have nothing but love and respect for you and your entire staff. To the rest of the coaching staff, support staff, and administration – thank you for your time, energy, and belief in me as both a player and a young man. I will always appreciate the relationships I’ve built here and the way you’ve treated my family and me during my freshman year. It truly means a lot to all of us.
“I’m excited to see what the future holds and look forward to continuing to grow as a player, a student, and a man. Thank you again to Mizzou, my teammates, coaches, and everyone who has supported me through this journey so far.
“With gratitude, Peyton Marshall
