Jerry Garner Jr. brings proven linebacker production and a disruptive edge to Mississippi Valley State
Garner has shown himself to be a **playmaker at linebacker**, with ESPN listing him at Mississippi Valley State and noting career defensive production that includes tackles, sacks, and forced fumbles; MVSU’s roster bio also describes him as a **“clutch defender”** with strong backfield disruption. He looks like a fit for teams that value **instincts, toughness, and turnover potential** more than raw measurables, and his Senior Bowl HBCU/NFL combine participation suggests scouts see developmental upside. For a defense needing physicality and urgency, he’s the kind of player who can change a series, not just fill a stat sheet.[4][5][8]
