Former Missouri tight end Messiah Swinson announced Tuesday morning that he is transferring to Arizona State.
The 6-foot-7, 255-pound Swinson spent four seasons with the Tigers after selecting them over ASU out of high school. He tweeted in 2017 that his top-three choices were Missouri, Arizona State and North Carolina State.
A torn ACL as a freshman kept him off the field early, and he caught just seven passes for 84 yards during his time as a Tiger.
