Jacob Gardner is CSU’s rock-solid, high-floor interior OL anchor
Gardner is one of Colorado State’s most dependable offensive linemen, bringing rare experience, heavy snap volume, and consistent high-end play to the Rams’ interior. In 2024, he was graded among the nation’s better linemen and earned first-team All-Mountain West honors, with CSU calling him the league’s top center and a Rimington Trophy Watch List candidate. What makes him stand out is the combination of toughness, technical reliability, and veteran steadiness—he looks like the kind of tone-setting blocker coaches trust to stabilize a line right away.
