Barksdale is a beast.

[True Grit]

For those who dont know, Barksdale was swtiched from DT to OT. He is a true freshman and already second on the depth chart at RT. This guy has it all- long arms, foot movement, speed, height, weight, football savvy, etc. He will be a great.

He is definitely top notch. He was the top defensive tackle prospect in the Midwest who was a consensus five-star recruit by every recruiting publication. He graduated in December and enrolled at LSU in the spring.
