Overview

  • Warchant first reported the move, with Noles247 and Yahoo Sports echoing the reporting, and no formal announcement from FSU has been issued.
  • Garrett currently serves as Duke’s general manager of player personnel after joining the Blue Devils in January 2024.
  • He previously worked at Florida State from 2022 to 2023 as director of offensive scouting under head coach Mike Norvell.
  • The hire would replace Darrick Yray, who left for a similar position at UCLA, and reporting indicates Garrett would report to athletic director Michael Alford with the exact title still to be determined.
  • Coverage credits Garrett with significant contributions to Duke’s 2025 ACC title run, including involvement in recruiting quarterback Darian Mensah, and notes his 30-plus years of experience with extensive NFL stints.
