- Ahmad Hardy underwent surgery in Mississippi and, a week later, posted a 14‑second video on May 20 from Columbia, Missouri, saying he is “starting the road to my rehab.”
- Eli Drinkwitz said there is no clear timetable for Hardy’s return, noting that internal healing must occur before any strenuous activity.
- Rashodrick Harris, a 20‑year‑old from Wayne County, Mississippi, was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated assault in connection with the shooting.
- Hardy earned Associated Press All‑America honors last season, was a Doak Walker Award finalist, and rushed for 1,649 yards, ranking second among all FBS players.
