AR Husker Fan Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Tight end, anyone? Quote Link to comment
DeathCultArmaggedon Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 Tight end, anyone? That's what I instantly thought too. Most of these small town teams are putting their best athletes at QB, so there is a high chance that he can move. Still, it would be sweet if we get him and he turns out to be the real deal at QB, slinging the rock around while towering over the o-line. Quote Link to comment
huskerfan500 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 well the rumor is that Jamarcus Russel is now 300 lbs, so if he has a good enough arm Barry could play QB Quote Link to comment
husker B-rent Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 well the rumor is that Jamarcus Russel is now 300 lbs, so if he has a good enough arm Barry could play QB you are joking right? im really not sure. Quote Link to comment

Considering that he was 260 in college (LSU bio), I don't think him reaching 300 is that far out there. He has a 6'6" frame. Using Russell as a yardstick, the fact that Robert Barry is only 225 and has a 6'8" frame means that he is capable of adding serious mass. Quote Link to comment
husker249 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Tight end, no doubt.....love his freakish frame and speed. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 If he has any passion for defense maybe he can be the next Adam Carriker. He was a former high school QB. Or maybe he's destined to stay at QB and be the next Dan McGwire (brother of Mark) who was another 6-8 QB that played for Iowa and San Diego State in college and Seattle and Miami in the NFL.

Danimal Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Interesting prospect, 4.8 is good for a high schooler that tall. Quote Link to comment
sewardite4NU Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I've played basketball against him. He's a pretty good athlete. I guess I didn't realize football was his sport... Quote Link to comment
backnblackshirts Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Interesting prospect, 4.8 is good for a high schooler that tall. Yeah if he weighs 280 lbs. Quote Link to comment
Danimal Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Interesting prospect, 4.8 is good for a high schooler that tall. Yeah if he weighs 280 lbs. Uh, we are talking about a college-prospect who is only a junior now. For a 6'8" high school junior 4.8 is good. 4.8 for a guy that tall that that weighs 280 is generally what you talk about for a serious pro-prospect college-guy or maybe a 5* recruit we are fighting the national powers for.
