Missouri RB Cody Schrader declares for the 2024 NFL Draft

One of the best and most influential stories in college football is taking his talents to the next level as Missouri running back Cody Schrader has declared for the 2024 NFL Draft.

A former walk-on at Missouri, Schrader has established himself as one of if not the top backs in all of college football after an incredible season with the Tigers. During the 2023 season, Schrader carried the Missouri offense with 276 carries, 1,627 rushing yards, and 14 touchdowns on the ground. Schrader was a menace when he had the ball in his hands, grinding out hard yardage play after play and becoming the most explosive piece of the Tigers’ offense.

Schrader has the potential to be an every-down back at the next level; while not possessing elite levels of speed, he has shown enough athleticism and burst to play at the next level with elite-level instincts and vision for his position. Schrader is functional as a pass catcher and, given his low center of gravity and insistent running style, could be a short-yardage menace. Expect the see Schrader hear his name called sometime in the second or third round in a deep running back class.
