Before Penn State: Sexton came to Penn State after a successful career at Arrowhead High School, where he was a first-team all-state performer as a senior. A four-star recruit, Sexton committed to Penn State in April 2023.
Where he stands: As a true freshman in a deep OL room, Sexton isn’t likely to get a lot of playing time and will probably end up redshirting his first season. But if a guy as athletic as Sexton can add to his 260-pound frame, he could be a force for Penn State in the years to come.
A quote by Sexton: “If I put my mind to something, I can accomplish a lot of things. If I’m determined, I’m gonna get to where I wanna be in life.” — Sexton last August via Zac Bellman of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
A quote about Sexton: “Garrett is an athletic unicorn. He combines his incredible length and size with great athleticism. Garrett has a Division I work ethic! Penn State has a diamond being polished and in a few years he will be blinging.” — Sexton’s high school coach, Matt Harris, via Penn State’s athletic website.
