Admittedly Mcmanus won me over at our Virginia Showcase the way he competed and earned a top performer spot. That being said even before his outstanding showing at our stock up showcase, Forest Park Barry Mcmanus Barry Mcmanus 5'9" Forest Park | 2025 VA has shown he can play at the next level.

On the field he is a top notch corner who schools like Stevenson and Bridgewater would suit him nicely. Point is the young man can play and deserves some notice.

5’9, 3.0 GPA. A senior out of Forest Park, one worthy of D3 offers at the very least. McManus sprained his knee toward the end of camp, his last rep in fact. I was able to talk to him for a few while trainers looked at him. I came away more impressed by his toughness and willingness to get back on the field despite being in serious pain.

Love McManus’s toughness shown throughout camp. Kid played with a chip on his shoulder, he was working with something to prove. A fantastic jammer in press alignment. McManus tossed around a few wideouts who weren’t prepared to counter a close-quarters jam, all of this even though McManus himself isn’t overtly big. Good pre-snap stance, balanced base, feet shoulder-width apart. Wasn’t late off the snap when attempting to shoot his hands. McManus didn’t blindly shoot his hands either, I can tell he is coached up well, witnessing McManus mirror his lead foot with his hands. Flexible hips and quick foot speed had McManus in position to recover with each rep. McManus might’ve not come away with several interceptions, yet he was well in position for many thanks to solid technique. Here’s to hoping he finds an opportunity at the next level.
