Cody Schrader, a standout player for Mizzou Football, has played a pivotal role in the team's remarkable season, which has been described as record-breaking and defying conventions. Mizzou's running backs coach, Curtis Luper, highlighted Schrader's unique presence in the sport, referring to him as a 'unicorn' due to his uncommon position as a white running back at this level of competition. Schrader, who bet on himself, transitioned from Division 2 football to participating in the prestigious Cotton Bowl, showcasing his determination and talent. His noteworthy performance, metaphorically described as 'DoorDashing the football to the end zone,' has not only helped put Mizzou on the scoreboard but has also earned him respect and admiration from fans and commentators alike.
