The 6-foot-2-inch, 215-pound defensive end from Houston isn't rated by 247Sports and doesn't have a profile on Rivals.com.
During his junior season at Dekaney High School, Garcia recorded four sacks in nine games.ย
It appears UA is emphasizing the defensive side of the ball for its 2021 recruiting cycle with five of the six commits being defensive players. Besides Garcia, other defensive commits include three-star Texas safety-linebacker hybrid Jackson Bailey, three-star New Orleans safety-linebacker hybrid Kolbe Cage, San Francisco defensive tackle Evan Branch Haynes and three-star athlete Cole Batson (San Clemente, Calif.), who committed to the Wildcats Sunday afternoon.ย
Arizona's only offensive commit for the '21 class is three-star center JT Hand.ย
