Mizzou RB Ahmad Hardy Earns Second All-American Nod

Correction: This story was edited to remove an inaccurate description of the qualifications to earn consensus all-american recognition.

Missouri running back Ahmad Hardy and offensive tackle Keagen Trost were named to the AP's All-American teams Monday morning, the second all-american recognition for both players.

Hardy was named to the AP's All-American first-team after also being named to Walter Camp's first-team. With the AP and Walter Camp recognition, Hardy has now earned two of the five pieces of recognition required to be considered a consensus all-american. He'll need to also earn first-team spots on one more of the following all-american teams: the Football Writers Association of America, the American Football Coaches Association and The Sporting News.

Hardy would become the 15th consensus all-american in program history and just the second running back, joining Cody Schrader in 2023.

Trost, a Wake Forest transfer, started all 12 games for Missouri at right tackle. He was named to the AP's All-American third-team.
