Tyler Badie is going to end his career at Mizzou with a bang

Running back Tyler Badie is going to go down as one of the all-time great running backs at the University of Missouri.

The senior back was named an All-American during the 2021 college football awards season. He’s the first Missouri running back to be named an All-American since 1998, according to the Kansas City Star.

The Second Team All-American is a big reason why Missouri will beat Army in this bowl game. He’s the “X-Factor.”

Badie can run the ball better than just about anyone in college football. He catches passes well and he takes care of the football. He surrendered zero fumbles in his career with the Tigers, according to ESPN.

The Memphis, Tenn. native will welcome the challenging Army defense as a final way to showcase his talents to NFL scouts.

Badie finished the 2021 regular season with 1,604 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns. He also recorded 330 receiving yards and 4 receiving touchdowns, giving him just show of 20 total TDs this season.
