Grant Garretson brings injured-but-tough linebacker value to UC Davis
Grant Garretson’s 2024-25 stretch at UC Davis showed a physical, downhill linebacker who can make disruptive plays when healthy: he logged three starts and four appearances in 2024 with three tackles, 0.5 sacks, a fumble recovery and a quarterback hurry, then returned in 2025 to appear in three games and record six tackles despite battling injuries again.[1] His differentiator is durability-plus-grit more than box-score volume—he has repeatedly fought through injuries, and that kind of toughness matters if your team wants a LB who fits a physical, team-first identity and can contribute in limited snaps without needing the ball to be funneled to him.[1][2]
