Gardner-Webb’s 6-9 rebound machine with legit scoring punch
In the 2025-26 season, Jacob Hogarth emerged as a high-upside frontcourt piece for Gardner-Webb, starting 25 of 28 games and averaging 11.0 points and 6.5 rebounds while shooting 52.3% from the field. He brings real value as a physical, efficient forward who can punish smaller lineups on the glass, score in double figures regularly, and has already shown a monster ceiling with a 23-point, 23-rebound outburst. The fit is appealing if a team wants toughness, interior production, and a player who competes like every board personally offended him.
