Evaluating the depth at receiver and running back following an explosive spring game

Traditionally, Mizzou has had stellar skill position play. Look at Dorial Green-Beckham, Russell Hansbrough, Albert Okwuegbunam, Emmanuel Hall, Tyler Badie, Larry Rountree III, and Jeremy Maclin just to name a few.

However, one could argue that this upcoming team is going be the deepest at receiving and running back since those 2013 and 2014 teams with the likes of DGB, Hansbrough, Henry Josey, Marcus Murphy, Bud Sasser, etc. Let’s take a deep-dive into how the depth chart may stack up at each of the skill positions.

NCAA Football: Central Michigan at Missouri

Running Back

Options: BJ Harris (SOPH), Elijah Young (JR), Taj Butts (RSFR), Michael Cox (SOPH), Cody Schrader (SR), Nathaniel Peat (SR)

Who Impressed the Most During The Spring Game: Outside of Luther Burden, one could argue that the newcomer with the most eyes on him during the game was Stanford transfer Nathaniel Peat.
