Madyx Gruber brings freshman guard energy to Widener’s backcourt
In the 2025-26 season, Madyx Gruber is a freshman guard for Widener who offers size for the position at 6'1" and 170 pounds, and he fits the profile of a developmental backcourt piece with upside rather than a finished-product scorer.[4][5] His early game log shows limited minutes and a defense-first flash—he recorded 2 steals and 1 block in his debut, even without scoring—suggesting active hands and effort on the perimeter.[4] Gruber was a late-summer Widener commit after a strong multi-sport career at Wilson West Lawn, so the appeal is athleticism, competitiveness, and room to grow into the college game.[13][12]
