Missouri State junior running back Jason Randall said he was pleased to learn that Missouri State University extended football coach Dave Steckel’s contract through the 2022 season.
Randall found out about Steckel’s contract extension on Twitter.
“I was very excited. I’ve got one more year here after this season, so that’s great to know that he’ll be around until I’m done playing,” Randall said.
Randall led the Bears in rushing with 459 yards on 121 carries in 2016. The native of Leavenworth, Kansas said he looks up to Steckel as a family figure.
