Missouri basketball wing Jacob Crews is entering the transfer portal and seeking a hardship waiver from the NCAA to play a seventh season in the sport, per a report from On3ās Joe Tipton.
As of 12:45 p.m. Monday, April 13, USA Today Sports confirmed that Crewsā name had not yet officially been entered into the portal.
Crews spent two seasons at Missouri, getting a second year as a sixth-season senior because he previously played in junior college. Now, stemming from a season prior to his JUCO year when he played only nine games for North Florida in the 2021-22 season
The 6-foot-8 wing appears to have a decent chance at being granted another year.

His 2020-21 season ā Crewsā true freshman year ā does not count toward his eligibility because of the COVID pandemic. All players who participated in that season were granted an extra season of eligibility by the NCAA
He played only nine games for North Florida in 2021-22. That is under the NCAA-allotted maximum number of games to qualify for a redshirt year. Crews entered the portal on Dec. 6, 2021, at North Florida, well before the midpoint of the season and below the current 30%-of-games threshold set by the NCAA for redshirts.
Crews then transferred to Dayton State, a junior college in Florida. In a ruling last season, which initially allowed him to return to Mizzou last season, the NCAA granted a one-year waiver to all former JUCO players to retain one year of eligibility.
Since then, Crews has spent three seasons in the sport: One with UT Martin, and two with Missouri under head coach Dennis Gates.
That means, if he is granted the waiver, he has one more season to play.

If Crews is granted the waiver, it appears as though he will spend next season elsewhere.
Crews played in 66 games for Mizzou over two seasons, making 11 starts ā all this past year. He averaged 7.0 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.3 assists per game for the Tigers.
He shot 38.7% from 3-point range, primarily appearing for the Tigers as a floor-spacer and perimeter threat. In his time with Missouri, 69.5% of his total shot attempts from the field were from behind the arc.
He is the fourth Mizzou player to enter the transfer portal this offseason, joining point guards Anthony Robinson II and T.O. Barrett and combo guard Sebastian Mack.
Missouri had not made any transfer portal signings at the time of Crewsā announcement. The Tigers have five open spots for their 2026-27 roster.
