Amari Gardner brings length, versatility, and blue-collar upside to Holy Cross’s secondary
In the 2026 Holy Cross roster, Amari Gardner is listed as a junior defensive back at 6-0, 180 pounds after arriving from Archbishop Curley, where he was a highly recruited prospect with 17 Division I offers and a reported 4.47 forty time. His college stat line has been modest so far, but that’s not the story here: he projects as a physical, rangy DB with enough speed to stay attached in coverage and the versatility to move around the backend. If your team wants a competitive, athletic defensive back with development upside, he’s a worthy target.
