Myles Garrett College

Myles Garrett enrolled at the Texas A&M University in October 2013. Before entering the university, he was the second most wanted prospect in America. He pursued his education at Texas A&M University until 2016. Right from his freshman year, he was breaking records as he surpassed Jadeveon Clowney's SEC freshman sack record by registering more than eight sacks in his first 9 games. Garrett majored in architecture and minored in geology at Texas A&M (via Myles Garrett's player page on the Cleveland Browns official website).

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.
