FIU’s All-Time Rushing Legend with Elite Breakaway Speed
Alex Gardner, FIU’s record-breaking running back, shattered the school’s all-time rushing mark with 2,221 career yards, averaging 4.5 yards per carry and scoring 22 touchdowns. Standing 5-10 and 185 lbs, Gardner differentiates himself with explosive breakaway speed, relentless intensity, and a junior-year legacy of breaking freshman records. Known for his gritty personality and clutch fourth-quarter runs—like his 18-yard surge to set up the record—he thrives in high-pressure situations. With no major injury history and a proven ability to elevate team performance, Gardner is a perfect fit for any team seeking a durable, high-intensity RB who delivers when it matters most.
