According to cfbstats.com, no freshman running back in the Football Bowl Subdivision averaged more yards per game last season than Missouri’s Damarea Crockett.
He finished with 153 carries for 1,062 yards — a healthy 96.6-yard average per game — and 10 touchdowns in his debut with the Tigers.
Oklahoma State’s Justice Hill averaged 87.9 rushing yards per game, second-most for a freshman running back behind Crockett, who finished 25th nationally with 6.9 yards per carry.
It was easily the best freshman season for any running back in Mizzou history, but Crockett is confident that even better days are ahead.
