In addition to this achievement, he registered 57 total tackles (36 solo), 19.5 tackles for loss and five forced fumbles.

Unfortunately for him, he got injured in his junior year which saw his availability limited to third downs only in some games. He sustained a high-ankle sprain in the fourth game of the season which affected his left leg. Although it ended up being a less eventful year, Garrett still achieved the status of a Unanimous Consensus All-American. The Browns defensive end concluded his collegiate career after racking up 145 total tackles, 48.5 tackles for loss, 32.5 sacks, 1 interception, and 7 forced fumbles.
