Versatile Vols linebacker and special-teams grinder
Kwauze Garland is a fifth-year Tennessee linebacker who brings utility, maturity, and special-teams value more than splashy box-score production. In Tennessee’s recent roster notes, he’s described as a former defensive back who moved to linebacker, earned a scholarship after starting as a walk-on, and became a steady coverage piece; he also returned from injury and was limited in spring work, which adds some availability caution. If your team wants a tough, experienced, team-first defender with positional flexibility and academic credibility, Garland is the kind of glue player coaches love.
