#MIZCamp18 Position Preview - The Running Backs

Mizzou Football will have one of the best 1-2 punches in all of college football in 2018. A fully healthy Damarea Crockett, who was a 1,000-yard rusher as a true freshman in 2016 but missed the second half of 2017 with a shoulder injury, returns to the backfield in 2018. He is joined by sophomore Larry Rountree III who features a downhill running style that helped him rush for 703 yards as a true freshman a year ago. The duo combines to average almost 6.5 yards per carry in their careers.
