Jabarrius Garror Dazzles in Vigor Victory
Jabarrius Garror's big game helped extend Vigor's winning streak to seven on Friday. Elberta had no answer to Garror as he picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made 12 total tackles (5.0 for loss). Garror is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made five or more in the last eight games he's played dating back to last season.
Garror must have Elberta's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Garror picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made five total tackles the last time he and the Warriors duked it out back in October of 2023.
