Freshman RB Noah Terry brings downhill pop to Gardner-Webb
Noah Terry enters the 2026 season as a 5-foot-9, 210-pound freshman back from Cardinal Gibbons (Raleigh, N.C.), and the early buzz is about his sturdy build and north-south running style rather than splashy production yet.[1][3][10] He arrives after a high-school season that included 877 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns, which suggests a compact, contact-friendly runner who can finish runs and handle work between the tackles.[10] For a Gardner-Webb team still sorting its backfield, Terry looks like a developmental fit if you want toughness, leverage, and a willing worker who could grow into more than just a depth piece.[3][4][5]
