Missouri running back Ahmad Hardy returns to play 6 months after being shot in the leg
Missouri running back Ahmad Hardy made his return to the field for the No. 23 Tigers on Saturday night at Arkansas, nearly six months after being shot in the leg during a concert shooting in Laurel, Mississippi on May 10. Hardy, who had been a key player for the Tigers, running for 1,649 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2025, required a metal rod to be inserted in his femur following the incident.
In his absence, senior Jamal Roberts took over the rushing attack, leading the Southeastern Conference with 867 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground.
