Composite NR/247Sports (3)/Rivals (NR)/ESPN (NR)
Josh Ward’s take: Garland is another example of Tennessee’s new coaching staff evaluating as many players as possible after arriving in Knoville. Garland is an under-the-radar prospect who Tennessee’s coaching staff hopes can develop in the weight room and contribute in the future.
