Trio of Mizzou Tigers football players among SEC all-conference selections

Three Missouri Tiger football players received regular-season honors from the Southeastern Conference on Tuesday.

Running back Tyler Badie and kicker Harrison Mevis were selected to the All-SEC First Team and center Michael Maietti made the second team, as voted by coaches in the league.

Badie, a senior, was named the SEC Football Scholar Athlete of the Year last week and is also a finalist for the Doak Walker Award, given to the best running back in the country. He finished the regular season with the most rushing yards (1,604) of any player in the conference, good for third in the country and an average of 133.7 yards per game.

The Mizzou running back recorded over 200 rushing yards in five games in 2021, becoming the first SEC player to do so in a single season this century. Badie made program history as well by passing Devin West’s single season rushing record of 1,578 yards, set in 1998. He’s also the Tigers’ first first team all-conference running back since Henry Josey in 2011, back when Missouri was in the Big 12.

Badie’s 14 rushing touchdowns tied with Alabama’s Brian Robinson for the most in the SEC during the regular season and his 18 total touchdowns led the league. He was also first in the SEC and second in the nation in all-purpose yards (1,939).

Mevis made 20 field goals for the Tigers this season, which ranks second in the conference and is tied for sixth in the country. He only missed two attempts for a field goal percentage of 90.9%, which was also second in the league. The player with the highest percentage, South Carolina’s Parker White, had 14 attempts to Mevis’ 22.

As a sophomore this season, Mevis led the conference in field goals made between 40-49 yards with 11. He also drilled three field goals beyond 50 yards, which ranked second.

Maietti was a key leader for Missouri’s offensive line, whose blocking played a crucial role in Badie’s success this season. He has spent the last two years in Columbia after transferring from Rutgers and has recorded 55 career starts at center.
