Hailing from Iowa Colony High School in Texas, the 5-foot-10, 150 lb. prospect is ranked as the No. 197 cornerback in the nation and the No. 297 player in the state, according to 247Sports' composite ranking.

He is the fourth prospect to flip his commitment to the Commodores in the 2026 cycle, joining Evan Hampton, Nate Fleming and Cameron Stepp. Vanderbilt is also working to potentially flip 5-Star quarterback Jared Curtis after hosting the Georgia commit for a visit during the Missouri game.

As a junior in 2024 for Iowa Colony, Garner compiled 44 tackles with five interceptions, as well as three fumble recoveries, one of which he took back for a touchdown. He helped his team to a 12-2 overall record and berth in the state quarterfinal playoffs.

This season, he's helped the Pioneers to a 7-1 record through eight games and has 14 tackles, 2.0 TFL's and two pass deflections. He's also compiled just over 450 all purpose yards between his time as a return specialist and at wide receiver.

Though he is a bit undersized currently, Garner is an impressive athlete with great coverage skills. He also suits up for his high school's track and field team wher he posted an eye popping 100 meter time of 10.9 seconds, according to MileSplit.

With now 24 commitments in the class, a third of which have come in the last month alone, Vanderbilt has surpassed Alabama (23) and is tied with Tennessee for the third most commitments in the SEC.
