The Final Cockdown: #43, Garrison Gist

These Rock Hill kids are everywhere!

Redshirt Senior
Fullback
5'10", 252
Rock Hill, SC (South Pointe High School)

Recruitment:
No offers; Gist walked on in time for 2013's spring session.

College Career:
The son of a former Citadel safety, football didn't look like the initial plan for Gist, who enrolled in 2011. But as a junior, he decided to give it a shot and ended up playing fullback (a position he hadn't played at since middle school) in two games—Coastal Carolina and the Capital One Bowl against Wisconsin. In the official depth chart released before SEC Media Days, he's listed behind redshirt sophomore Rivers Bedenbaugh at the FB position.
