The 5-foot-10, 205-pound running back from Catawissa, Pennsylvania has 27 offers, according to 247Sports, and will enroll at Michigan to wrestle as a dual athlete. The offers included many smaller schools, with many in the Ivy League, but Michigan saw his talent up close recently and decided to give him a chance.
Garcia will both wrestle and play football at U-M. More on his situation can be found here in this story by FlowWresting.
His film shows how physical he can be with the opportunity to development at the next level.
