COLUMBIA, Mo. — New Missouri running back Ahmad Hardy knows how to work with horses. He’s got three of them: two males named Chaotic and Jet, plus a female named Coco.

During the first week of the Tigers’ fall camp, for example, Hardy posted a video of himself riding Chaotic along a gravel road.

He’s one of the most eagerly anticipated newcomers to the 2025 Mizzou roster and seems likely to deliver on the hype. Is he MU’s next high-volume workhorse tailback?

It seems possible — so long as Hardy stays healthy through the process of getting pummeled by Southeastern Conference defenders.
