Tyson Garrett brings downhill juice and special-teams versatility to Butler's linebacker room
Garrett is a senior linebacker for Butler with a track record of being active, reliable, and versatile: in 2024 he started all 12 games and finished with 43 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, two pass breakups, and a forced-fumble recovery, then in 2025 he added 37 tackles and 10 tackles for loss with a quarterback hurry and pass breakup. He stands out less as a pure stat monster and more as a disruptive, high-motor piece who can impact the run game and create negative plays, which makes him a solid fit for a defense that values toughness and assignment discipline.[12][7]
