Expert Analysis
Max Karduck | Prep Redzone Scout
Quincy is another dual-athlete prospect who is a star on both sides of the ball. Barber, a 5’8, 146lb 2024 grad prospect from Newport High School, had a good season defensively as he recorded 5 total interceptions in 11 games, totaling 105 total net yards after those interceptions, and 1 of those being a pick-six. Like a lot of the other top-tier safety prospects in Kentucky, Barber utilizes his skills at tracking the trajectory of QB throws, alongside accurately reading the intended placement of the ball, to cover his ground quickly to make a defensive stop. These same plays also potentially end up in an interception for Barber and a crucial forced turnover for the Newport defense. Along with his skills as a ball hawk, Barber is also athletically gifted and can deflect incoming passes from all different heights and angles. His leaping ability should not ever be questioned, alongside the lateral quick motions that enable him to change directions instantly to cover more total ground. Finally, Barber is one of the hardest-hitting DB prospects in the state. Quincy can hit with force compared to an above-average 220+ dline prospect. The hits he has made over his high school career have been ferocious, which has helped him even record forced fumbles. Quincy is an overall amazing athlete prospect that can fit in any scheme both offensively and defensively for any collegiate school. As of now, he seems to intend to play at the University of Cincinnati after his senior season.
