College Career

Following a disappointing first 3 seasons behind starter Chris Tucker, Hardison decided to transfer to Western Kentucky for more playing time and opportunity. In 2018, he led the Western Kentucky defense as a 4th-year junior with 65 tackles and 3 interceptions. Hardison beat out Koren Donahue for C-USA Defensive Player of the Year and was named to the All-Conference USA 1st Team. He declared early for the 2019 NFLHC Draft.
