Garrett leads all-SEC freshman in sacks with 11, Derek Barnett is in 2nd with 7. Currently, Barnett does have more TFLs than Garrett.

Myles has already passed Clowney's record, and Barnett will tie it if he manages one more.

However looking past the #s.

8 of Garrett's 11 came against Rice, Lamar, and ULM

All 7 of Barnett's have come against SEC teams.

They're both wishing they chose different teams to play for.

Tennessee would trade Barnett for Myles without even blinking.

More Tackles and TFLs overall, and more than twice as many sacks in league play.

Basically the only argument you can make for Myles over Barnett is that he was rated higher coming out of highschool.

Uh no, no, we really wouldn't, especially not after his sacks in OT that helped win us the game against SC.

Barnett led the country in TFL last week or week before last.

Not sure where he's at now

Edit: Tied for 7th in the country and 2nd in the SEC. 2 TFL behind Shane Ray.

Garrett is tied for 13th in the country and 3rd in the SEC behind Barnett

Not so sure it is such a lock for MG as you think.

Let's see where they stand at the end of the season.

DB is about to straight feast on these last three SEC East weaklings we play.

Garrett looks better to me. I didn't think Barnett stood out particularly, at least against UGA. Clearly he's very good, just didn't jump off the screen like Garrett has

Myles will be the better player in the long run.

Do you remember the video of Barnett in the HS playoffs last year that made news? The announcer goes off on Barnett for a late hit (he basically runs the QB out of bounds hard at the end of the game) but the announcer's words are worth paying attention to because I have a feeling a certain team is going to pay for them: [insert snob voice of indeterminate accent] "how classless! Have fun on Rocky Top, have fun playing on Rocky Top [more snide words]..."

I'd bet good money that Barnett and the rest of the D watch that video and listen to those words in preparation for the last game of the year. Barnett will definitely want to make sure that announcer knows just how much he enjoys knocking the shite out of his (the announcer's) favorite team's QB.

I think both are already upper end SEC DEs. Glad we will get to watch both of them play for another 2 years.
