Workhorse. Leader. Under-appreciated.
These are all adjectives that apply for Larry Rountree III. The former 3-star recruit was an immediate impact player. He split carries with Ish Witter as a freshman, formed a formidable duo with Damarea Crockett as a sophomore, and served as the thunder to Tyler Badie’s lightning as a junior.
That “split” isn’t much of a split in 2020. Eli Drinkwitz knows what he has in Rountree, and he’s riding his workhorse early in the year.
Missouri’s running backs have 65 carries on the season.
