Aaron McIver brings size, experience, and pass-protection value to Gardner-Webb’s front
A 6-foot-2, 290-pound redshirt junior, Aaron McIver is an experienced interior offensive lineman who has played in 21 games for Gardner-Webb, including 11 in 2025. His most important differentiator is reliability: Southern Conference notes he allowed just five sacks last season per PFF, which is a strong indicator of steadiness in pass protection. He was also an all-conference high school lineman and academic all-state selection, suggesting a disciplined, coachable profile that fits well in systems that value consistency and line depth.
