Garrett Austin is a big, developmental Blue Raiders tackle with upside
In the 2026 season, Garrett Austin is listed by Middle Tennessee at 6-6, 309 pounds as a redshirt freshman offensive lineman, and he has already drawn internal recognition as a 2025 Offensive Scout Team Player of the Week, which hints at a grinder’s mentality and coachable upside. He does not have public game stats yet, so the real appeal is projection: long frame, tackle size, and developmental value for a program that can coach up raw traits. If you want a young lineman with length, mass, and room to grow rather than a finished product, he’s a sensible fit.
