2025 defensive lineman and On3 four-star prospect Zavion Hardy<\/a><\/strong> enters his final juco campaign with a lot of expectations. That includes the expectations he has place upon his own shoulders.<\/p>\n

After a successful freshman campaign at East Mississippi Community College, the Georgia native is considered among the top juco defensive linemen in the country. So he wants to go prove it on the field this season and he has confidence that he\u2019ll do just that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I\u2019m gonna have a pretty good season,\u201d Hardy said. \u201cWith me being the No. 1 ranked juco defensive lineman, that has boosted my confidence and I have to prove myself. Where I play just depends on the situation and I could be at three-tech or at defensive end.\u201d<\/p>\n

Owning numerous SEC offers, Hardy experienced a trio of official visits in June and that included Arkansas, Mississippi State and South Carolina. Hardy recently locked in another SEC official visit for the month of September and is eyeing another fall official visit in the SEC.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just locked in my official visit to Alabama game for their game with Georgia,\u201d remarked the 6-foot-5 and 265-pound Hardy. \u201cI believe that is September 28th. I will probably take a Florida official visit when they play Kentucky and that would be in October. Then I\u2019ll go see Mississippi State play this year and I want to make a South Carolina game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hardy has been a long-tome target for Mississippi State and is one of the Bulldogs\u2019 top remaining needs in the Class of 2025. He shared his thoughts on connections with head coach Jeff Lebby and defensive line coach David Turner<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s still going good with State and they\u2019re still recruiting me pretty good,\u201d Hardy said. \u201cThey\u2019ve been on me hard since my visit there. My relationships with Coach Lebby and Coach Turner are getting stronger and it\u2019s still great love there with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The message from Mississippi State\u2019s staff to Hardy has been clear and simple, as well. And they\u2019ve also relayed the importance of needing him in the trenches for his college career.<\/p>\n

\u201cCoach Lebby has just wants me to make the right decision,\u201d added Hardy. \u201cCoach Turner has said the same thing and he said I can do big things at State. Coach Turner feels like he can develop me the best and he wants me there.\u201d<\/p>\n

For several months now, Hardy has not listed any favorites or singled out any particular programs on his radar. But he has been consistent with his decision date and what factors will help determine his college decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cI still plan to make my decision on my birthday, November 29th,\u201d noted Hardy. \u201cI\u2019m really not sure what all I will look at the most with my factors. But when I visit schools I look to see how the staff and players treat each other, and how tight they are. But I haven\u2019t cut down my list or anything like that yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
