Richard Garrett brings disruptive edge depth to WCU
Richard Garrett’s value is in his steady, role-player production: in 2025, the redshirt junior appeared in the first three games and logged three tackles with half a tackle for loss, showing he can contribute in limited snaps and on special teams.[1] Earlier at Western Carolina, he flashed a pursuit-and-effort profile with tackles, a QB hurry, and a TFL-assisted play, while his pre-college production included 114 tackles and 11.5 sacks as a senior, hinting at real pass-rush upside.[3] He profiles as a useful fit for a defense that wants motor, depth, and developmental edge talent rather than a finished star.[1][3]
