Barr is a kid who can make you a fan pretty quickly with his style of play. He has a great motor and can really be a disruptive presence. He has good size and while he does not have ideal bulk he does not come across as undersized. He reminds us a lot of class of 2009 defensive tackle Corey Adams in his build. Both have good and thick athletic frames with the room to add more size. Barr has good quickness off the ball. He is a player capable of getting penetration. He comes off the ball with good pad level. He is very good with his hands. Consistently shoots them and will create separation. He can punch, get to the half-a-man and come off the block to be disruptive. He can also take on a blocker and hold his ground and locate the ball and cross a blockers face because he will use his hands. Does a good job of reading blocks and can come across the line of scrimmage, redirect, and get flat down the line. He takes good angles in pursuit and closes on the ball well. He is a good tackler and can deliver a pop. Shows good overall athleticism for his size and when asked to drop in zone-blitz packages does not look lost or out of place like so many big man can. As a pass rusher he can be explosive and shoot his weapons and knock a blocker back into the pocket. He will attack half-a-man, but could be a little more active with his hands in the sense of working moves in pass rush situations. Barr is an active and high motor defender. He plays the game hard and is a good and at this point underrated defensive tackle prospect. ... for full access to RecruitingNation become an Insider
