High-upside Missouri safety with four-star pedigree and early depth-chart intrigue
Bass entered Missouri as a former four-star defensive back from East St. Louis and is listed by EA Sports as a 6'2", 70-rated free safety, which points to a young, rangy defender with developmental upside rather than a finished product.[1][3] In his first college season, he logged limited production—1 solo tackle and 3 assists—so the appeal is more about tools, recruiting pedigree, and projection than proven output, and one report even noted he was expected to enter the transfer portal after that freshman year.[2][4]
