It’s a well-deserved honor for the former Mizzou great. Bolton racked up plenty of accolades during his three-year stint with the Tigers including the SEC’s leading tackler in the 2019 season. More from Jaden Lewis on RockM+.

Stay tuned for more inductees as Mizzou Athletics will announce them in the coming days.

Cunningham’s viral pointing moment has been a trending meme for the past few days, which means its time in the limelight might already be over.

But with Crowe, it’s probably safe to assume the five-star guard, the all-time scoring leader in California prep history, is cast for a prominent role in MU’s rotation. When he committed almost a year ago, his profile could be summed up in two words: shot creator. While MU envisions Kennard Davis Jr. as a bigger ball handler, Gates pinned the combo guard tag on the BYU transfer, and it’s notable that the Tigers’ portal refresh did not include a veteran lead guard.

Big expectations for Jason Crowe Jr. this upcoming season. Can the incoming freshman handle them?

• Mizzou Track and Field from Sophie Silvers: Fresh Faces and Fond Farewells

Former middle-distance runner Andrew Hauser has announced his commitment to Saginaw Valley State University via Instagram. Hauser, who joined the Tigers in the fall of 2024, is coming off a stellar 2026 season. Highlights include a fourth-place finish in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the Battle on the Bayou, where he claimed a new personal best of 9:16.35, and a seventh-place finish in the 1,500 meters at the Yellow Jacket Invitational.

Best of luck to Andrew Hauser at his next stop, Saginaw Valley State, which is a D2 school in Michigan.
