Barker impacted the action on both sides of the ball as a Durant junior in 2025. Defensively, he accounted for 35.5 tackles, 21 of which were of the solo variety. Barker also delivered 8.0 tackles for loss and forced a fumble. On the O-Line, he helped a balanced Wildcat offense rush for 1,291 yards (5.4 YPC) and 18 touchdowns, and throw for 1,197 yards (16.2 YPC) and 14 scores. Barker stands out for his physicality on both sides of the ball, as we can witness when watching his 11th-grade highlight video. As an offensive guard, he bullies the opponent whether he’s in tight quarters or out in space. He moves well, which also makes him effective on the interior of the D-Line. Barker is one that deserves more attention on the recruiting trail.
