Preston Hatfield brings state-title juice, track speed, and big-play upside to Mizzou’s backfield
Hatfield is a 2026 Missouri RB commit who exploded down the stretch for Lee’s Summit, finishing his senior season with 1,662 rushing yards and 18 total touchdowns after missing time early with a fractured leg in 2025. He stands out for burst, home-run speed, and toughness — he set a Missouri state championship game record with 457 rushing yards and four touchdowns, and he also adds verified track-speed pop with a 22-7.25 long jump and 11.01 100-meter time. He looks like a developmental depth piece with juice, not a finished product yet.
