Javohn Garcia

At UMass

Verbal commitment announced 10/18/2019⁵⁾
NLI signed 11/14/19⁶⁾
Coach McCall quote on Garcia's signing: “Javohn is a tremendous competitor and a winner. He makes the right play and has the ability to get in the lane and finish on contact because of how strong he is, but he also has great feel. The one thing JG does such a great job of is changing speeds and pace. He can come down on a full sprint, stop on a dime, change pace, make a move and get in the lane.”⁷⁾
