Mardale Rowe brings length, upside, and a still-growing role on Fordham’s defensive line
In the 2025 season, Mardale Rowe was a rotational Fordham defensive lineman who appeared in one game, and he’s now listed at 6-foot-2, 250 pounds as a junior in 2026[1][4][12]. His big draw is upside: he arrived with a proven high-school resume as a disruptive edge defender and all-time school sack/TFL leader, but at Fordham he’s still early in the production curve, so the intrigue is more about motor, frame, and development than box-score fireworks[11][9]. If your team wants a young DL with room to climb, Rowe is a classic “bet on the traits” prospect.
