2018 SEASON
Big-play receiver and return man who had a frustrating injury-plagued junior season that saw him limited to only six games played … The maladies began in training camp when he suffered a broken bone in his leg, which kept him out of the first six games of the season … Worked his way back into the rotation and caught four passes for 38 yards over the next five games, but was injured at Tennessee (11/17) on a punt return attempt, and that kept him out of the regular-season finale against Arkansas (11/23) … Returned for the Liberty Bowl, but played limited snaps … Had a three-catch game on Homecoming against Memphis (10/20) that went for a season-best 28 yards, and later had a 10-yard reception in MU’s win over Vanderbilt (11/10) … Also returned two punts for three yards on the season and three kickoffs for 56 yards (18.7 average).

2017 SEASON
Exciting wideout who also emerged as one of the SEC’s top punt return threats ...

Also caught a 30-yard touchdown pass at Vandy, giving him two total touchdowns in the win ... Averaged 19.8 yards per punt return, but did not qualify for national or conference rankings, as his 11 attempts weren’t enough to make the list ... If he did qualify, he would have ranked among the best nationally, as the NCAA leader in punt returns averaged 20.4 yards ... Helped the Tigers to a number three national team ranking in punt returns, averaging 16.57 yards per attempt (the mark was second-best in the SEC as well) ... His two punt return scores was tied for second-most in the nation ... Ended the year with 14 pass receptions for 170 yards and two touchdowns ...

Caught one pass for a career-long 37 yards at South Carolina (11/5) … Caught one pass for 12 yards in Mizzou’s win over Vanderbilt (11/12) … Earned his first career rush against Arkansas (11/25), toting the rock for five yards.
