Gardner handled the punting duties as a freshman on a Class 5A playoff team. He averaged 38.3 yards on 15 punts. During his ninth-grade highlight video, Gardner provides evidence as to how he gets the job done. Average yards per attempt don’t tell the whole story of a punter’s talents. Gardner is skilled at directional punting and making it difficult for returners to find clean opportunities. Kohl’s Kicking sees him as a 3.5 star in its 2029 national rankings. The specialist experts had this to say: Demonstrated effort and a strong willingness to learn and compete throughout the 2025 Kohl’s Midwest Winter Showcase in Chicago. During punt charting, he earned 80.4 points, achieving a best hit of 43 yards with a hang time of 3.6 seconds. His positive energy and receptiveness to coaching contributed to a confident performance.
