KJ Hardesty is a steady, disruptive anchor for Morehead State’s front
In the 2025 season, KJ Hardesty posted 46 total tackles, 10 solo stops, 36 assists, and 2 sacks for Morehead State, and he earned honorable mention All-PFL recognition after leading the defense in a 31-30 win over Butler with 11 tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss[1][12]. At 6-foot-2, 280 pounds, the junior defensive lineman brings sturdy size, reliable activity, and a workmanlike, in-the-trenches style that fits a defense looking for consistent gap control and motor. He looks like a solid fit for teams wanting a dependable interior presence rather than a pure flash playmaker[1][12].
