DT Malik Barrow (OSU==>UCF==>Rutgers==>TBD)

[RB07OSU]

Watching him right now...Malik is going to be very, very good here at the 3 tech spot. He looks pretty much unblockable out there, so disruptive. Announcers said there are some at IMG who think Barrow is the most talented DL on the roster. And that INT

The clinic continues...two more tackles for loss. He is basically in on every play.

Sick. Just sick sick sick. Once coach gets him up here he is going to be ridiculous. Wow what a Dline thats coming to Columbus!!

 

[MSURacerDT55]

The fact that Shear Manuel is behind him on the depth chart tells you all you need to know

My only concern with Malik Barrow is that I don't know if he can play quarterback in Urban Meyer's system...

Ya think this kid won't contribute from day one? So glad to have him onboard!!

 

[Schust75]

Wow.... If we can add Jackson to this DL haul... I'll take our line class over anyone's. Going to continue to be fun for a long long time.

Yeah, but that Barrow kid isn't even one of the best 250 kids in the country...

Add Jackson and this is the best DL I have ever seen here. Not even close. We are already ridiculous with Barrow, Bosa, and Cooper. Barrow to me is Bennett but with more raw strength at this point in his development. Pretty scary stuff.

Good thing rivals dropped him over 100 spots in their rankings because he didn't do the camp circuit.

Exclusive: Barrow announces early enrollment

"I've pretty much reached my high school academic requirements and had the opportunity to graduate early from IMG Academy," Barrow said. "Then, I was recently offered an opportunity to come in and enroll early at Ohio State. After talking it over with my coaches and parents, there was really no reason to stay at IMG when I can now get up to Ohio State."

 

[ShowMeBuck]

Oh yeah!! This is GREAT news. He is close to the top of my wish list for guys to enroll early.

BARROW OUT FOR THE YEAR
After two big weeks and a boost in the national rankings, Ohio State 2016 defensive tackle commitment Malik Barrow got some bad news late last week: he's suffered a leg injury during IMG's big win at DeSoto (Texas) and will miss the remainder of his senior season.

The 6-foot-3, 270-pound Barrow, who announced early last week he'd be enrolling early at Ohio State, is doing well according to his father, Malcolm, and is trying to keep focused on the positives.

"He is doing relatively well," Malcolm Barrow told 11W. "He just wants to heal up and get his grades right so he can graduate in December as planned."

Barrow himself isn't letting the bad news affect him at this point.

"I'm doing fine," the country's 296th-ranked player said. "It's all good."
