Cody Schrader stats, rushing record: Missouri RB breaks Tyler Badie's single-season mark

Cody Schrader's journey as a walk-on at Missouri has been well documented. On Friday, the Tigers running back closed his collegiate career with yet another accolade.

The consensus All-America selection, winner of the Burlsworth Trophy (top former walk-on) and Doak Walker Award finalist (top running back) finished his career as Missouri's all-time single-season rushing leader. His 128 yards vs. No. 7 Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl not only spurred the Tigers to a 14-3 win and capped an 11-2 record for Missouri, but also ensured his permanence in the annals of Tigers football.

As has been the case for the entire 2023 season, Schrader's tough running proved invaluable for the Tigers, who scored 14 fourth-quarter points (including a touchdown by Schrader) to put a bow on Missouri's season after it was voted to finish sixth in the SEC East division.
