Expert Analysis
Cooper Morreale | Prep Redzone Scout
JT Barlow is a dominant safety prospect out of Hillcrest who had a huge season in their secondary last fall.
Barlow is a highly athletic and instinctual DB- he’s great at identifying plays, flies around the field to get to the ball, and never gets beaten downfield for big gains. Barlow has great ball skills and is a threat to pick off passes anywhere on the field- he tracks opposing QB’s eyes and the ball really well and has a reliable set of hands he uses to break up and pick off passes.
Barlow is also a force against the run- he plays with great pursuit, is an impressive tackler, and can easily take down the ball carrier for little to no gain, regardless of where he lines up pre-snap. On top of that, Barlow is a huge playmaker on special teams- he has great vision, finds open lanes, and consistently puts his team in great starting field position.
Barlow has had a busy offseason, and this past week, he picked up another offer from Mississippi State! Be sure to check out his film below, he’s a seriously talented player with a big year ahead.
