Shomari Lawrence News: Limited production in loss

Lawrence logged 16 rushes for 57 yards during Thursday's 34-28 loss against Arkansas State.

Lawrence led the Bears in rushing attempts but faced a tough defensive front that limited his efficiency on the ground. Despite the modest yardage total, he remained involved as a receiver and provided steady early-down production. Game script shifted Missouri State toward a pass-heavy approach in the second half, capping Lawrence's overall workload. He finished the season with 199 carries for 1,021 yards and seven touchdowns while reeling in 19 receptions for 118 yards across 13 games.
