HS != College
Some people and some positions have a harder time making the transition

Give him time

Yup. But he's a true freshman and he plays a position where true freshmen typically don't contribute.
The last two really good mikes we had (Minter and Shep) both redshirted.
ETA: ditto what the five guys before me said.

Stars are based on potential.
Doesn't mean he's gonna be a freshman all American. The dude has lived in Illinois all his life. It's not easy going from that weather to south Louisiana heat and humidity.
DJ Welter and Kendall Beckwith are above him, Beckwith was almost a 5 star and has is a soph, and Welter is a returning starter.
It's not all about athleticism or talent, knowing the defense is the most important factor, and that takes time.
My guess is by the end of the year, the depth chart will be Beckwith, Welter, Garrett
