Four years ago he gave up a scholarship at Division II football power Northwest Missouri State for a chance to walk on at Mizzou, showing up at the Tigers’ team facility wearing an oversized pair of Timberland boots. Anything to add an inch or two to his hardly imposing 6-2 frame.
Harold was too short to play defensive end in the Southeastern Conference, but that didn’t keep him from landing a spot on the roster in 2015. In 2016 he earned a scholarship and a starting job. In 2017, he was voted a team captain. It still goes down as one of Mizzou’s greatest out-of-nowhere success stories.
