Prior to entering the portal, Garrison had been a contributor for Kentucky, including notable performances and a role as a big man off the bench, contributing in the 2025-26 season. Reports also highlighted his energy and defensive presence as a key piece off the Kentucky frontcourt. [sources: Kentucky coverage and team-focused outlets]
