Big-frame Missouri State tackle with developing upside
Noah Gardner enters the 2026 cycle as a Missouri State left tackle prospect with prototype size at 6'5" and an EA SPORTS College Football 26 launch rating of 65, suggesting a developing player rather than a polished star[1]. His value is in the build: size, tackle-specific length, and room to grow in a system that can mold him into a steadier edge protector[1]. Based on the available information, he profiles more as an upside fit than an immediate impact anchor, so he is best for teams looking for a developmental OL with physical traits to bet on[1].
