T.J. Gardner brings veteran toughness and special-teams value to UConn
T.J. Gardner is a Connecticut lifer who has become a depth-and-duty defender with a blue-collar edge: UConn lists him at 6-2, 244, and his early college production included action in all 12 games in 2018 with six tackles.[1] What makes him intriguing is the all-purpose football background—Windsor star, multi-sport physicality, and experience at both linebacker and defensive line—plus the kind of hard-nosed frame that can help on special teams and in run support.[1][2]
