is an explosive WR who dominated for Clay Chalkville and Spain Park’s offenses the last two years.
“Barber is highly athletic and plays with a ton of speed and quickness out wide. He flies downfield, gains tons of separation, and constantly finds ways to get open everywhere on the field. Barber is a physical matchup nightmare for DBs- he makes impressive grabs using his size, catch radius, and body control– it’s really impressive seeing how he positions himself to haul in passes.
After the catch- good luck stopping Barber, he is a problem and can shake off tackles and create huge plays downfield off of shorter passes.“
Barber signed with LSU back in December and will be a name to watch in the SEC the next few seasons. He’s one of the more explosive WRs we’ve seen come out of the state in the last few years. It’ll be exciting watching him in Death Valley!

Corey Barber is a highly talented wide receiver out of Spain Park who has emerged as one of the top pass catchers in the state after his dominant season last fall. Barber is the go-to target in his Spain Park’s passing attack, and is amazing in his role. Barber is highly athletic and plays with a ton of speed and quickness that allows him to take routine short/screen passes for massive gains downfield. In addition to his speed, Barber is a really physical WR who plays through contact, isn’t easily tackled, and can use his size and catch radius to make impressive catches over the tops of defensive backs. There are no questions about Barber’s hands whatsoever- he consistently hauls in passes no matter how covered or contested and is always a reliable target. Barber was incredibly productive out wide in Spain Park’s offense this past season, hauling in 74 receptions for 1429 yards and 18 touchdowns on the year. With production like that, the offers have followed- Barber has picked up offers from Oregon, Southern Miss, Arkansas State, and plenty more this past month! Be sure to watch Barber’s tape below and his season next fall, he’s an extremely talented player- the state is lucky to have him!
