Chad Gardner brings Wofford a battle-tested, size-first presence at offensive line
Gardner is a straightforward fit for a program that values toughness in the trenches: Wofford lists him as an offensive lineman, and ESPN also identifies him as a Terriers OL, signaling a developmental depth piece with the frame and positional utility to compete for snaps. The main appeal is fit and function rather than headline stats—he projects as a physical, assignment-sound blocker who can help in a run-heavy or balanced offense if he keeps sharpening technique, leverage, and consistency. Publicly available game-impact data is limited, so his value is best judged by practice competitiveness, reliability, and coach trust.
