Eric Garza is a low-profile Texas linebacker with captain-level grit
Garza enters Texas as a **junior linebacker** and **second-year walk-on** who has appeared in only one game, so he is more of a developmental depth piece than an immediate impact player. His best differentiator is his high-school production and instincts: at Southlake Carroll in 2023, he posted **107 total tackles, 7.0 tackles for loss, 4 interceptions, 3 pass breakups, 2 fumble recoveries, and a blocked punt**, which points to a versatile, disruptive defender with strong ball skills. If you want a tough, active, team-first linebacker with upside, he fits the profile.
