Though the Georgia State transfer was top five nation in carries last season, he is ready to split the Missouri Tigers' backfield this season.
Marcus Carroll emerged as one of the better running backs in the nation last season, running wild with the Georgia State Panthers for 1,350 yards on 274 rushing attempts. After transferring toAccording to head coach Eli Drinkwitz, the question of how carries will work to start the year is answered, with Noel being the first guy to touch the field.
Though they bring different skills to the table, they have been able to complement each other well so far. According to Drinkwitz, they've been able to play off one another in fall camp. "I mean, me and Nate, we are tight," Carroll said. "we went off together, got something to eat, all types of stuff."Simply put, Noel and Carroll might not be able to fill the void that Cody Schrader left after graduating and heading to the NFL. Schrader had a remarkable season last year, rushing for 1,627 yards and 14 touchdowns. Drinkwitz understands that they don't have Schrader more and that rotating between the two backs will be important.
