Hardy (5-9, 211) rushed for 1,554 yards with 15 touchdowns on 204 carries through 11 games in 2019. That total tied the Great Midwest Conference rushing record.
NFL Draft Diamonds spoke with Hardy last year and asked him what he believes his teammates would identify as his best quality.
"My teammates would say my work ethic, effort, and being relentless are my best qualities," Hardy responded. "... I see myself as a leader on my team because when everybody is down, people look up to me to either make a play or to even help bring people's spirits and hope up. Running back suits my skill set."
