Episode Synopsis

Jaydan Hardy, a sophomore safety from Oklahoma, is making a significant impact on the team's defense. Despite limited playing time against Auburn and Michigan, Hardy has been a regular in the defensive rotation, with 110 snaps so far this season. Coach Venables praises Hardy's instincts and growth, and Hardy has earned strong performance reviews with four solo tackles and solid grades in five out of seven games. Hardy's teammate, Peyton Bowen, has noticed his improved mindset and mental toughness, allowing Hardy to transition between strong safety and free safety. Hardy's consistency has provided valuable depth, as seen when he stepped up during Bowen's tough game against Ole Miss. While Hardy may not replace Bowen as the starter, his contributions are expected to grow, making him a crucial asset to the Sooners' secondary.The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story.
