Garrett walked away with Defensive Back MVP recognition from both the coaching staff and media in attendance. Built a fraction under the ideal thesholds set by P4 programs, yet hardly an issue in my eyes. He checked in at 5’9, 160 pounds with elite incredible catch-up speed on full display. At the PRZ New York stop, he made life miserable for receivers in the best way possible. Relentless, in-your-jersey coverage from snap to finish. Targets didn’t get freebies when lined up across from him, every inch had to be fought for.

His movement skills stood out. No choppy feet, no clumsy transitions, just smooth, rapid steps with controlled hip turns when carrying routes vertically. There’s very little unnecessary motion when he flips and runs, which tells you the technical work is happening off the field. Williams looked coached, prepared, and confident in space. Credit to him for setting the tone at DB, and don’t be surprised if my partner Cory Lemer keeps pushing his stock as he heads into his junior year at FDR-Hyde Park.

On the short list of my favorite performances. Coaches see for yourself.

FDR HS’s (Hyde Park) @dlg2028 was lights out yesterday at DB, elite stuff, I understand why he’s ranked so high. A 2028 DB 👀 @NickDAll22 @PRZcory @PrepRedzone pic.twitter.com/qM5XWdYvUY
