SEC defenses, huh.
Mizzou didn’t just run over Big 8 and Big 12 defenses throughout the course of its decorated football history.
In fact, Mizzou’s two most recent single-season record-holders set their mark in the SEC.
Here’s the complete history of every 1,000-yard rusher in Mizzou football history.
Missouri’s 1,000-Yard Rushers
Ahmad Hardy topped the 1,000-yard mark in Week 11 of the 2025 season, giving Mizzou its 9th 1,000-yard rushing season as an SEC member. Notably, Henry Josey ran for 1,000 yards in the Tigers’ final year in the Big 12 and second year in the SEC. Here’s a look at every Tiger who has rushed for 1,000 yards in a season (* indicates the player was not in the SEC at the time).

Long, long before anybody even thought about Mizzou joining the SEC, Bob Steuber became the first Missouri Tiger to rush for 1,000 yards in a season. He held that program record for decades. Here’s Mizzou’s complete list of single-season rushing record-holders since (bold indicates the year the record was broken; * indicates the player was not in the SEC at the time):
