“Coach Scott's message has always been that he's always waiting on me. He knows that I'm a priority. He told me one time, ‘I'm just waiting on go. I'm sitting on G, waiting on O,'” Garrett said via 247Sports’ Kipp Adams.
“That just let me know that I'm a priority for them, and I think they've got a good plan for me. Like I've said, they're waiting on me. I know they want me. I know it's just taking the time to figure everything out, giving every school a chance.”
