The journey
Kentucky to Florida, Florida to Germany, and back home to Kentucky — every stop built the keeper. Next chapter: loading…
Where it started in Kentucky — defender first, until he asked his coach to try goalkeeper. From that day, there was never another position.
Elite youth football in Florida, testing himself against the best academies in the country.
Germany. Played up as a 15-year-old with Bayern Munich's U17 Global Academy — a first-hand education in the European game.
Back in Florida, more minutes, more responsibility, more growth.
Home to Kentucky. Joined late in the 2025 season and played every minute of the Academy Finals.
Signed an academy contract with the first team at 17 — eligible for USL Championship matchday rosters while keeping his NCAA eligibility.
Proof, not promises
In the 2025 Academy Finals, Garrett played every minute in goal as Lexington's U20s finished third in the tournament — the performance that carried him straight into the first-team picture.
“Garrett made an immediate impression on the first team coaching staff and players in preseason.” — Steve Cooke, Lexington SC Youth Technical Director, on Garrett's signing
