Missouri junior running back Ahmad Hardy suffered a gunshot wound at a concert early Sunday morning and is in stable condition after undergoing surgery, Missouri football said in a statement.
Hardy, a native of Oma, Miss., began his career at Louisiana Monroe before transferring to Missouri. He finished 2025 with 1,649 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns, second-most nationally and most among power conference running backs.
Hardy was named first-team All-SEC and a finalist for the Doak Walker Award, given to the nation’s top running back.
“Ahmad is deeply loved by his teammates, coaches, friends, family and fans. We will continue to stand by him and his family through this difficult time, offering our love, prayers, strength and support,” the program said.
His timeline for a return to the field is currently unknown. Missouri said it would share more information on his status “when it becomes available.”
