The 6’0″ standout had an impressive freshman season, averaging 13 points, 2.7 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals while helping Brentwood Academy to a state championship. As a result, Garland earned Tennessee Sports Writers Association first-team all-state honors and was a finalist for Division II-AA Mr. Basketball in Tennessee. This April he was named to the 2015-2016 USA Basketball Men’s Junior National Team.
ESPN ranks Garland as a 5-star recruit and the no. 12 overall prospect in the class of 2018.
Memphis offered Garland a scholarship in May of this year. Since then, he has received offers from Vanderbilt, Baylor, Tennessee, Louisville, Wake Forest, Arizona State and UVa.
CityLeagueHoopsTV released video highlights of Garland this past February. Those highlights are below. Also be sure to check out our Men’s Basketball Scholarship Picture page for the latest on UVa’s scholarship numbers and offers in the 2018/2019 season.
