sturdy edge presence and proven veteran production for Lamar
In the 2018 season, Dedrick Garner was an Honorable Mention All-Southland Conference defensive end who played in and started nine games despite overcoming injuries, finishing with 27 tackles, 7.0 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, and three quarterback hurries. He brings veteran experience, physical edge-setting, and disruptive backfield pop—exactly the kind of no-nonsense defender coaches trust in big moments. If your team wants a tough, experienced DE who has already shown he can battle through adversity and still produce, Garner fits the bill.
