Three games into his junior season for Drake University football and Adel-Desoto-Minburn Tigers alum Jacob Hardy is making an impact on the Bulldogs’ defense. Hardy, a 2016 ADM graduate, has started all three games along the Drake defensive line. He’s recorded one tackle for loss in each game this season, registering 12 total tackles, three tackles for loss, and two sacks. Hardy posted his best statistical game of the season last week in Florida against Jacksonville University. He made six total tackles, including five solo stops, in a 41-9 victory. The Drake Football team hosts Butler tomorrow afternoon in the Bulldogs’ annual homecoming game. Kickoff is set for noon at Drake Stadium in Des Moines.
