Look: Harrison Mevis becomes Missouri's all-time scoring leader after field goal vs. Georgia

What a banner season Harrison Mevis has had for Missouri in 2023.

The Tigers kicker not only earned the longest field goal in SEC history — a 61-yarder to give Missouri a Week 3 win vs. Kansas State — but now is the all-time leading scorer in program history. He achieved the feat in the third quarter of No. 14 Missouri's game vs. top-ranked Georgia to give the Tigers (7-2, 3-2 in SEC play) a 13-10 lead.

Mevis' 42-yard field goal with 11:42 left in the third quarter officially gave him the program record while giving the Tigers a 13-10 lead over No. 1 Georgia in what ultimately was a 30-21 defeat in Athens.

With that, here's a look at where Mevis ranks all time in Missouri scoring history following his history-making game vs. the Bulldogs:
