Trey Graydon is Gardner-Webb’s big-bodied freshman arm with real bullpen upside
In the 2026 season, Trey Graydon has shown swing-and-miss potential out of Gardner-Webb’s bullpen, including a three-inning, scoreless outing with two strikeouts at Charlotte and a two-inning relief appearance with two strikeouts against North Carolina A&T. He’s a 6-foot-4, 220-pound right-hander from Riverside HS who arrived as a three-year varsity starter, team captain, and all-region performer, which points to mound poise and competitiveness beyond the box score. The fit? Interesting upside arm with starter traits and late-inning physicality—worth caring about if your team values projection, toughness, and innings that can bend but not break.
