Blake Bradford brings tackle-sized upside to Gardner-Webb’s front
At 6-foot-6 and 285 pounds, Blake Bradford gives Gardner-Webb a long, developmental offensive line body with Power-conference transfer experience from Appalachian State and a hometown base in North Carolina. In the 2026 roster, he’s listed as a redshirt junior, which suggests a player with maturity and system familiarity rather than a raw freshman project. There aren’t public game-log stats to spotlight, so the appeal is the frame, movement potential, and versatility that can help a line get bigger and more athletic.
