Kendrick Hardy brings veteran Southern Miss backfield muscle
Kendrick Hardy is a redshirt senior RB at Southern Miss who brings proven production and a sturdy 228-pound frame, including 432 rushing yards on 72 carries in the referenced season with a 5.9 yards-per-carry average and a long run of 47 yards. He’s a downhill, physical runner who can finish runs and handle volume, which makes him useful for a team looking for reliability between the tackles rather than splashy side-to-side elusiveness. The big question is health and role consistency, but when Hardy is rolling, he looks like the kind of no-drama, tough-nosed back coaches trust.
