CJ Garnett brings veteran linebacker toughness and special-teams value to East Texas A&M
In the 2025 season, CJ Garnett arrived at East Texas A&M as a senior transfer from North Texas with one year of eligibility left, bringing a 6-foot, 220-225-pound frame, special-teams experience, and a reputation as a hard-nosed defender who also competed in wrestling and powerlifting. He produced 2 tackles and 1 interception in 7 games for the Lions in 2025, after logging 4 tackles in 2024 at North Texas, and he also earned recognition for his academics. If your team wants an experienced, physical, culture-additive linebacker who can hit, cover, and contribute without drama, Garnett fits the bill.
