Josh Barney '18 Recruiting Profile

At 8, when I first started playing football, I desired only one thing, to play hard, compete and be the best I could at the sport I love.  I have had the opportunity to play many sports, but football is what makes my engine run.  In those early years, I had to train hard and work hard to just get on the playing field because there were size restrictions.   If I took a day off or did not apply myself, I wouldn't make weight and I couldn't play.  My team depended on me dieting and running to get in there on game day.  I continued to work hard as a sophomore and was rewarded with a starting lineman position on the varsity team.  Friday night under the lights came early, and I have the heart and desire to make it to the next level for football on Saturday.  I am surrounded by a supportive family, coaches, teammates and teachers that are equally committed as I am at helping with this success.  Making it to college for a good education and playing football at the next level is my number 1 goal.
