The Missouri Tigers provided a scholarship to running back Anthony Favrow, the team announced Friday. He's been a walk-on with the team for the last three years.

With the approval of the House settlement, the scholarship limit for football programs increased from 85 to 105, opening up spots for players like Favrow. Missouri now has six running backs under scholarship.

Favrow earned all-state recognition three times through his high school career at Olathe West High School in Olathe, Kansas. He rushed for 3,872 yards and 45 touchdowns on 582 carries through his high school career. He also caught 37 passes for 284 yards.

Mizzou Quote of the Day

"It was the only Big 12 school that offered, and I wasn't a high recruit right out of high school. This was the best chance of coming out and playing for a major school, and that was what I was really looking for."Stryker Sulak
