Derek Barrett reported, “I went to Ole Miss last week and the coaches gave me their numbers and information. They said they would be recruiting me hard. I think I did well up there.”
He went to say of the campus, “It’s really nice. The stadium is not far from the campus. It has really nice facilities. They are very big and they are very nice.”
The 2008 season will be a big year for Barrett. Not only is it his senior season, but many schools will base their decision on his senior films. He has very good feet for a defensive lineman and moves his hips well which allows him to have more pass rush moves than just a bull rush.
As far as the schools that are recruiting him the most he said, “The schools showing the most interest are Western Kentucky, Louisville, Ole Miss, and Duke. I plan to visit Western Kentucky this season right now.”
Barrett hopes the 2008 season will not only be a big season for him but also his team. He said of team’s performance so far in the preseason, “Our practice is going very good right now. We are looking strong and quick off the football. I think we could be pretty good this season.”
