    At Auburn, Hardy redshirted in 2020, making his AU debut against Northwestern in the Citrus Bowl. While it’s a return to Auburn, the homecoming is arguably more about the staff.

    After the 2020 season, Hardy transferred to Liberty. He played for Hugh Freeze‘s program in 2021 and ’22. Freeze brought many of his Liberty staffers with him to Auburn, so Hardy is excited to see some familiar faces in his second stint as a Tiger.

    Hardy, listed at 6-3, 310 pounds, played in 34 games over the past 3 seasons at Liberty after redshirting in 2021. His most productive season came in 2023 when he logged 31 total tackles with 5 TFLs and 2 sacks over 14 games.

    This time, Hardy comes to Auburn without any drama. There was confusion around his initial commitment after Hardy was not announced as an Auburn signee during the Early Signing Period in December 2019. In January 2020, Hardy was confirmed to be an AU signee amid speculation of a possible flip to Tennessee.
