Cody Gardanier brings length, defensive instincts, and versatile forward upside to Puget Sound
Gardanier is a 6'4" forward for Puget Sound who profiles as a multi-tool defensive piece with active hands and rebound value, and his high-school résumé showed across-the-board impact in scoring, rebounding, steals, and blocks. In the 2025-26 college season, he has only a brief early sample, so the best read is upside: a long, energetic wing/forward who can help with versatility, effort, and toughness rather than pure volume scoring. He looks like a fit for a team that values defense, activity, and developmental pieces over immediate offense.[1][4][5][8]
