Missouri’s men’s basketball program has added a significant piece to its roster for the upcoming 2026‑27 season, announcing the signing of Jordan Crawford, a 6‑foot‑3 guard who spent the previous year at South Dakota.
Crawford arrives after a standout junior campaign in which he tallied 461 points, hit 77 three‑pointers and shot 36.8 percent from beyond the arc, numbers that helped him earn second‑team All‑Summit League honors and led the team with 14.4 points per game.
A shooting specialist with a proven track record
Coach Dennis Gates praised Crawford’s elite shooting skills and his ability to lead on the court, noting that the guard’s experience will complement the team’s existing talent and add depth to the perimeter.
The Tigers are also welcoming a wave of transfers and a nationally acclaimed freshman class, positioning the program to build on back‑to‑back NCAA Tournament appearances and double‑digit SEC victories.
Among the returning players, only Trent Pierce managed to score over 100 points last season, while Kennard Davis Jr. holds the highest listed career total with 927 points among Mizzou’s spring additions, underscoring the fresh offensive options now available to the team.
Crawford’s career totals of 846 points, 156 made three‑pointers and 173 rebounds reflect a seasoned scorer who will join a roster that already includes standout transfers such as Jaylen Carey, Jamier Jones, Bryson Tiller and the returning Trent Pierce.
