Garner grew up in Pittsburgh and will be returning home. While he has played in 10 games each of the last two seasons, his impact has been minimal. Garner has just two catches and 45 receiving yards in his career. He has also played defense at Wisconsin, notching 10 tackles as a freshman.
He will need to sit out for a season before playing for Chryst and Pittsburgh.
