Trevon Walters Released from Missouri Following Arrest

Former Missouri Tigers running back Trevon Walters was arrested Friday night in Columbia, Missouri, after allegedly stealing and using a stolen credit device.

On Monday, Missouri head coach Barry Odom announced Walters has been dismissed from the team, per Tod Palmer of the Kansas City Star.

According to Dave Matter of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Walters is facing three charges in total, including stealing and two counts of fraudulently using a credit device.

Per Matter, Walters was held at the Boone County Sheriff Department at a total bond of $5,500.

After redshirting as a freshman in 2014, he missed the entire 2015 campaign because of a torn ACL he suffered in spring practice.

The 21-year-old Bradenton, Florida, native was set to earn his first playing time as a collegiate player in 2016 and may have had an opportunity to work his way into the regular running back rotation.

With Walters out of the picture, returning leading rusher Ish Witter figures to receive the bulk of the carries for the Tigers.
