Garner in 2021 finished with 31 tackles, 8 pass breakups and 2.5 tackles for loss and earned 3rd team All-Sun Belt honors. Over his 3 year career with the Cajuns, Garner finished with 3 interceptions, 18 pass breakups and 3 forced fumbles.
Standing at 6'2, 217 pounds, Garner is expected to get heavy NFL interest next season, with one report listing him with a 2nd round grade.
Now that Louisiana's Billy Napier has been named HC of Florida, I'm told there's a very good chance cornerback Mekhi Garner follows him via transfer. The junior has been receiving 2nd round grades from scouts. #FloridaGators @GatorsFB
