Cornell freshman DK Garza brings power, polish, and upside to the Big Red backfield
DK Garza enters Cornell in the 2026 season as a freshman running back with a strong résumé from Alamo Heights, where he was a 2x first-team all-district back and set a record with 3,384 rushing yards in his final high school season[2][4]. Listed at 5-foot-10 and about 185-192 pounds, he looks like a compact, physical runner who can handle contact and contribute as a versatile athlete, not just a pure ball-carrier[1][2][3]. Cornell’s 2026 roster lists him on the depth chart, but no college stats are available yet, so the real appeal is his proven production, toughness, and potential fit in a disciplined Ivy League offense[1][3].
