With the Wildcats, Garrison has appeared in 71 games across the last two seasons, five of which he has started. The forward averaged a combined 5.3 points, four rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game on 52.9% shooting from the field, 28.1% from three, and 56.3% at the free throw line.

Garrison was also rated as the nation's No. 36 player in the 2023 class, per the 247Sports Composite rankings, as well as the nation's No. 5 center.
