Ahmad Hardy was a no-star, unranked recruit out of Monticello , Mississippi .

Hardy was one of four running backs in the FBS last season to register more than 1,000 yards after contact.

Mizzou has had a tailback rush for 800 or more yards in four of the past five seasons .

It took one season to go from barely-recruited rookie to potential SEC starter.

Hardy: “I don't even think I had any stars, and then in the portal I was a four -star. But obviously I didn't get recruited (in high school), and I proved what I could do, and now they can see. I've got more to prove, (and) I’m trying to get that recognition.”.
