Crockett gained 1,062 yards on only 153 carries last season for a blistering average of 6.9 yards per carry. In a Mizzou offense that ranked first in the conference with 501 yards per game, Crockett provided balance to the team’s explosive passing attack.

Now as a sophomore, he hopes to add onto that success. If the team can turn around their defensive woes, Crockett could be a breakout star in the league.
