Mizzou RB Hardy ‘Incredibly Frustrated’ by Inability to Play

Drinkwitz said Hardy is working every day to return, but the Tigers have lost some ground in the running game without him.

  • On Wednesday, Mizzou coach Eli Drinkwitz revealed that running back Ahmad Hardy remains sidelined while recovering from a gunshot wound sustained in May.
  • Hardy, who tallied 1,649 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2026, leaves a significant void, forcing the Tigers to increase the workload for running back Jamal Roberts.
  • Recovery remains uncertain, as Drinkwitz stated Hardy is "incredibly frustrated" and requires a two-week practice ramp-up to ensure his gait is correct before playing.
  • Roberts will carry the load Saturday at 6 p.m. against Troy in a sold-out matchup as the Tigers attempt to boost their 4.4 yards-per-carry average.
  • Commemorating the 100th anniversary of Memorial Stadium, the university released a new book by author Annie Miller Devoy detailing the program's history.
