Missouri State football running back & linebacker Connor Lair says he’s entering the transfer portal.
The West Plains native announced the news on social media Thursday night.
Thankful for my time at Missouri State. Can’t thank the community and the team enough for the support and backing I received during my time there. With that being said I will be entering the portal with 3 years of eligibility

Lair appeared in 12 games for the Bears during the 2022 & 2023 seasons.
He missed most of the 2023 season as he underwent treatments for stage four Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, which he was diagnosed with in September 2023.
Lair earned all-state accolades during his junior and senior seasons at West Plains, helping the Zizzers to the state quarterfinals on three different occasions.
