Jordan Crawford, a 6‑foot‑3 guard known for his sharpshooting, has officially joined the Mizzou Tigers ahead of the upcoming season, adding another layer of depth to a roster that has already secured back‑to‑back NCAA Tournament appearances.
The move comes after Crawford’s standout junior season at South Dakota, where he tallied 461 points, averaged 14.4 points per game and ranked fifth in the Summit League with 77 three‑point makes, shooting at a 42.5 percent clip over his final 15 contests.
Coach Dennis Gates highlighted the player’s blend of scoring and leadership, noting that Crawford’s ability to stretch the floor and create off the dribble aligns with the Tigers’ aggressive perimeter strategy.
Crawford’s basketball journey has taken him from Charlotte to the College of Charleston and most recently Eastern Kentucky, experiences that have honed his adaptability and competitive edge as he prepares to wear the black and gold.
A New Chapter for the Tigers
Mizzou’s recent surge, marked by double‑digit SEC victories and consecutive tournament bids, sets the stage for the new addition to contribute immediately, as the program looks to build on its momentum and chase deeper runs in March.
