veteran Alabama State linebacker with a quiet, physical edge
Johnny Garner profiles as a disciplined, low-drama linebacker who brings steady tackling habits and special-teams value to Alabama State, with roster records showing he played as a 5-11 sophomore and logged at least two tackles in 2015 game action. His appeal is less about flashy numbers and more about reliability, effort, and fit in a defense that needs dependable front-seven depth; because publicly available stat output is limited, he reads as a role player whose value would come from assignment soundness, toughness, and practice consistency rather than headline-grabbing production.
