Nate Strong set to join the Tigers
This fall, four-star running back recruit Nate Strong will don the black and gold after all. The Hinds Community College transfer was a 2015 graduate of East St. Louis High School.
Media outlets previously reported that he would not join the Tigers until 2017 for academic reasons. Strong is now listed in the MU student directory and is reported to have academically qualified for the university.
Strong missed most of his one season at Hinds due to injury. He is listed as the No. 2 junior college running back recruit in the nation.
