Expert Analysis
Hayden Lindquist | Prep Redzone Scout
A WL DB with the potential to have a major breakout this fall, Garcia is an athlete with real track speed who put up both solid numbers and tape last season, amassing 37 total tackles and a blocked kick, which he returned for a TD. Most of his junior tape was at safety, where he provided as both a run-stopper and coverage DB. One thing that caught my eye in his film was his breaking speed. Garcia is able to play a little bit of a softer zone coverage because once he reads the QB’s eyes and baits a pass, he’s able to close toward the wideout rapidly and either force a big-time PBU or lay the wood for a physical tackle. While stopping the run, despite being on the 3rd level, he can be seen making big tackles at the first or second levels. His physicality is better than most DBs, and he’s shown real utility on special teams across the board, giving fantastic effort wherever he plays. Keep an eye out for this underrated ATH.
