COLUMBIA, Mo. (KCTV) - Missouri star Ahmad Hardy is being released from the hospital Tuesday after being the victim of a shooting in Mississippi over the weekend.

According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, Hardy was shot in the upper leg early Sunday morning at a concert in his home state.

Mizzou Athletics said he was in stable condition Monday after he underwent surgery on Sunday.

“He plans to head to Missouri’s campus immediately to begin rehabbing with the goal of playing this year,” Thamel reported Tuesday.

Hardy ran 256 times for 1,649 yards and 16 touchdowns during his first season at Mizzou in 2025. He transferred to the Tigers after starting his college career at Louisiana Monroe.

He was a Doak Walker Award finalist for the nation’s top running back and earned multiple national and SEC weekly honors a year ago.
