Garner did a bit more damage on the ground than as a receiver in 2025, and he put up around 200 yards from scrimmage. He has a path to more consistent touches, as Eastern Alamance graduates three productive seniors at the position. He’s a jitterbug of a runner, who is hard to square up in the open field.
Though he’s on the smaller side, Garner has a ton of wiggle as a runner, and he’s able to escape tackles that even bigger players struggle to break. He does a little bit of everything for Eastern Alamance, playing running back, receiver, special teams, and even the occasional defensive back. Garner is more explosive than the testing numbers suggest and he’s another guy who could have a big junior season.
