committed to Vanderbilt.
Regarded as the No. 10 overall prospect in the Class of 2018 by
247Sports and the No. 3 point guard, Garland is the highest-rated pledge in Vanderbilt history.
Garland has earned Mr. Basketball honors in Tennessee each of the past two seasons. As a junior, he averaged 23.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game last season in leading the Eagles to a state title and Top 10 national ranking by MaxPreps.
