Missouri Star Ahmad Hardy Shot and Wounded at Concert in Mississippi
The running back was an All-American for the Tigers last season.
Missouri running back Ahmad Hardy was shot and wounded early Sunday morning while attending a concert in his native Mississippi, the Tigers said in a statement.
“Ahmad Hardy was the victim of a shooting at a concert in Mississippi early Sunday morning and sustained a gunshot wound,” Missouri said. “Ahmad underwent surgery Sunday and is in stable condition.”
Per the Tigers, a timetable for a return to play—or any football activities—is unknown. ESPN’s Pete Thamel did report that “there’s optimism” that Hardy will eventually return to play.
“Ahmad is deeply loved by his teammates, coaches, friends, family and fans,” the school said. “We will continue to stand beside him and his family through this difficult time, offering our love, prayers, strength and support.”
He originally signed with Louisiana-Monroe, running for 1,351 yards and 14 touchdowns to lead the Sun Belt in 2024. After that season, he transferred to play for Missouri, where he quickly established himself as one of the SEC’s best running backs.
