Freshman long snapper James Gardner gives Robert Morris size and stability on special teams
James Gardner is a 2026 freshman long snapper at Robert Morris, listed at 6-foot-2 and 245 pounds, with the kind of frame coaches love for the hidden-art role on special teams[1][4]. His value is less about box-score noise and more about reliability, consistency, and starting his college career in a specialist spot that can earn trust fast; he also arrives from Upper Saint Clair, a program known for producing disciplined players[7][9]. If a team wants a steady snapper with room to develop, Gardner looks like a sensible long-term fit[1][14].
