Expert Analysis
Michael Campanile | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Having played his high school ball along the Outer Banks in North Carolina, Gardill is one of the more underrated ’26s still on the board. Taking a PG year at Fork Union, he lit up the stat sheet at NHSLS (21 goals and eight assists through six games), and there’s no reason to think that won’t carry straight into the spring. His athleticism jumps off the field—both in how he dodges and how he rides. When he dodges, he’s got top-end speed and legit shiftiness. He uses both to his advantage behind the cage, whether he’s buying time for teammates to pop open or shaking his matchup and getting up the hashes for quality looks. On rides, he plays with a junkyard-dog mentality, emptying the tank to win back possessions.
His finishing ability is another part of his game that really stands out. In tight, he’s crafty. On the run, he generates real velocity. With his feet set, he’s got a variety of different release angles he can go to—and the most impressive one I saw was his ability to pull the ball high out of an underhand release, freezing the goalie who’s expecting low-to-low. If you’re searching for an uncommitted ’26 offensive weapon, Gardill needs to be at or near the top of your list.
