Tanner Armstrong scouting report
Tanner Armstrong is the 2026 draft’s "little Jack Russell." A 177cm dynamo from the Murray Bushrangers, the Richmond NGA prospect is a tenacious ball-magnet with elite stoppage craft. Renowned for his aggressive tackling and "football crazy" IQ, Armstrong thrives in the contest but possesses the gut-running to impact play in every third of the ground. A proven winner and leader.
