JJ Garner is an emerging Louisiana RB with size, early trust, and upside
In the 2026 season, JJ Garner is already on the radar as a co-starter for Louisiana and has logged 4 carries for 21 rushing yards plus 2 catches for 6 yards, a small sample but a real sign the staff trusts him early. He brings a sturdy 5-foot-10, 210-pound frame, and reports from spring ball and preseason notes point to a back who flashed enough to crack the top of a crowded rotation. If you want a physical, young runner with room to grow into a bigger role, he’s worth watching.
