Stephen Johnston brings veteran backfield gravity to Missouri State
Stephen Johnston is a proven, downhill Missouri State runner with real résumé juice: the Bears list him as a fifth-year senior leader, and in the 2010 season he started 10 of 11 games, rushing for 752 yards and adding 932 all-purpose yards. Missouri State’s own notes also credit him as part of one of the top running back groups in FCS football, which tells you the staff trusted his consistency, toughness, and leadership. If you want a back who can handle workload, set the tone physically, and stabilize a room, Johnston fits the bill.
