Future Dynasty Stars: Devy 15-11

Article text

Whether you love it, hate it, or are sandwiched firmly in between, the new era of college football is here and is not going away anytime soon. Nothing better illustrates the changing dynamics of the sport than Indiana’s rise to dominance, including a rout of an Alabama team that previously lorded over the college football landscape. Curt Cignetti and the program have pushed all the right buttons in the transfer portal and big donors have taken notice to line up behind the Hoosiers. The introduction of NIL has created a free agency-type environment and has squeezed an extra year out of many players who may have otherwise entered the draft and gone on day three. It has made the product on the field strong and created more parity, though the blue bloods will still have their day in the process. The constant player movement can make it difficult to run a program, but we are not those in charge. We are just looking for the next wave of dynasty talent, and below we will look at 100 players who could make an impact on dynasty rosters before long.

Ahmad Hardy , RB Missouri Height: 5’10” Weight: 210 Draft Eligible: 2027 Stats: Summary: Before diving into the profile of Ahmad Hardy, we have to note he was the victim of a shooting in May . It is worth noting Hardy was labeled an innocent bystander in the matter and was guilty of no wrongdoing. There is no timetable for return – because this is not your standard injury – but for the purposes of this exercise, we are operating under the assumption there are no long-term impacts. Hardy is one of the nation’s best power backs. His transition from Louisiana-Monroe to the SEC could not have gone smoother, and his 1,649 rushing yards last season were a program record at Missouri. His ability to dart east and west and explode through the line of scrimmage makes him dangerous in the open field, yet he possesses the patience to avoid getting overexuberant with the ball in his hands. The big question mark will be in the receiving game, as Hardy has barely been deployed with only 14 receptions over two seasons. His natural running skills are elite and enough to make him a candidate for the RB1 in 2027. He may need to become a bigger player on third downs to ultimately be the first running back off the board. 2026 Outlook: Hardy is the heartbeat of the Missouri offense and arguably the nation’s best back. He will remain a workhorse as he builds his stock for next spring’s draft. SUBSCRIBE TO DLF PREMIUM! Gain Instant Access to this resource and so much more!.
