2018 SEASON
Valuable member of special teams unit who saw action in all 13 games on the year ... Made two kickoff returns for 26 yards as an upback on the kickoff return team, while also fair-catching a few balls to give the Tigers good field position ... Special teams standout out posted two tackles on the year, both coming at South Carolina (10/6) … Also carried the ball five times for six yards in the season-opener vs. UT Marin (9/1), and ended the season with eight total carries for 14 net yards.

2017 SEASON
Saw his first action as a Tiger, and made big impressions with his powerful running style and non-stop motor ... Saw action in five games, and ran for 121 yards on 20 carries, good for a healthy 6.1 yards per carry average ... Saw his most extensive action in Mizzou’s big win at UConn, where he carried 10 times for 60 yards - both representing career highs ... Included in that game was a 29-yard romp off left tackle where he demolished a UConn defender in the secondary who came up to attempt a tackle - a play that made all of the highlight reels that weekend.

2016 SEASON
Did not see game action in 2016.
