Ahmad Hardy and Kewan Lacy Named Doak Walker Award Finalists

Ahmad Hardy of Missouri and Kewan Lacy of Ole Miss have distinguished themselves as top running backs in the SEC, earning them finalist spots for the Doak Walker Award. Hardy's impressive rushing yardage and Lacy's dominance in rushing touchdowns highlight their outstanding contributions to their respective teams.

Hardy aims to cap off his season by potentially breaking Cody Schrader's single-season rushing record in the game against Arkansas. Even without breaking the record, Hardy has already cemented his place in Mizzou history.

Lacy, in his first season with Ole Miss, has surpassed Quinshon Judkins' records for single-season touchdowns and all-purpose touchdowns. He is also on track to break the record for most rushing attempts in a single season.

While Jeremiyah Love of Notre Dame presents a strong challenge with his receiving yards, the performances of Hardy and Lacy in the SEC make them strong contenders for the award. The final decision rests with the Doak Walker Award board of directors, and the announcement will be made during the Home Depot College Football Awards ceremony.

The winner will be announced on December 12 during the Home Depot College Football Awards ceremony.

The finalists are Ahmad Hardy (Missouri), Kewan Lacy (Ole Miss), and Jeremiyah Love (Notre Dame).
