Ahmad Hardy Will Be Back at Mizzou in 2026
Ahmad Hardy, a consensus All-American and Doak Walker finalist, re-signs with Missouri to chase the single-season rushing record after a dominant 2025 season.
- Ahmad Hardy, the Missouri running back, is returning for his junior season and is expected to play in the Gator Bowl on Dec. 27 in Jacksonville, Florida.
- Because of his breakout 2025 season, Hardy earned consensus All‑America honors and a Doak Walker Award finalist nod, leading Missouri to prioritize retaining him this offseason.
- In a social-media post Friday, Mizzou Football announced Ahmad Hardy's re-signing after earlier comments signaled his return was imminent, with Hardy saying, 'We always say that we got to finish the job.'
- Hardy's decision stabilizes Missouri's offseason and eases uncertainty, while Coach Eli Drinkwitz urges St. Louis businesses to support sophomore Jamal Roberts amid transfer portal interest.
- Hardy can claim the single-season rushing title if he records at least 68 yards in the Gator Bowl, and with 144 yards he'd surpass Devin West's 1703 total.
