All-America RB Ahmad Hardy to miss Missouri’s season opener after being shot at concert in May
Columbia, Missouri (AP) — Ahmad Hardy, a Missouri All-America running back, will miss the Tigers' season-opening game due to being shot in the leg during a concert in May. Coach Eli Drinkwitz stated, "Hopefully, he can keep working and try to get back as soon as possible," but there is no specific timeline for his recovery. Hardy, who set a single-season school record with 16 touchdowns last year as a sophomore, was charged with aggravated assault after the shooting incident in Laurel, Mississippi.
The 25th-ranked Tigers are set to begin their season at home against Arkansas-Pine Bluff on September 3, without Hardy on the field.
