DT Simeon Barrow, Jr. commits to Miami

May 3, 2024 1 min read

When Miami lost senior Jared Harrison-Hunte to SMU, adding an upgrade at defensive tackle became their top objective. They have checked that box with the addition of Michigan State transfer Simeon Barrow, Jr. One of the most coveted players in the Portal, Barrow chose Miami over LSU, Texas and Missouri.

The 6'3, 290 redshirt junior is a two-time Honorable Mention All-Big 10 selection who compiled 110 tackles, 18.5 TFL, 10.5 sacks and 76 pressures over the past three years. He also blocked two kicks, displaying his explosive power, and was voted team captain.

As a three-star recruit out of Grovetown, Georgia, Barrow weighed 252 pounds and was listed as a DE prospect. He has maintained his quickness (verified 4.44 shuttle) while adding almost 40 pounds.

Barrow joins QB Cam Ward, RB Damien Martinez, WR Sam Brown, DT CJ Clark, DT Marley Cook, DE Elijah Alston, LB Jaylin Alderman, S Meesh Powell and CB D'yoni Hill in Miami's Portal class.

Whatever man. All the off field bs these days is sad for college football. Just get me to gameday and I can forget about this nonsense.

Do we know when he technically enrolled, matriculated, whatever?

Yes he did.

I got that. Asking when. Just curious on the timeline of when that would’ve had to be done, because if I’m reading the academic calendar correctly it was several weeks ago?

Welcome to college football free agency. It's the same as the pros, the vast majority of the players take the biggest deal available.

It’s not the same as the pros. The pros have defined contracts and full transparency. The pros have a salary cap and designated tampering window. The NFL has its shît together. College football is an absolute mess

Doubtful because some dumb *** kid decided to sign multiple binding contracts like he’s Thad castle

As long as he doesn’t share his pocket p***y with the rest of the team.

if people feel we really need him I’m not gonna try and convince you otherwise. I just don’t agree. If he plays for us, great, if not, whatever. It doesn’t change expectations for the season

This guy is an absolute idiot or his camp are idiots. Why would they even entertain this especially on his draft year. NFL teams are going to use this against him in their draft grades. His camp/agent or himself just screwed himself out of money smh.

With that said if he is stuck here the only silver lining is that he is a redshirt senior and this is his last year of eligibility so he has to perform if not for us just for himself to make it to the NFL. As long as we don't pay him more we should bring him back. Under no circumstances should he be kicked out of the team and allowed to go to Mizzou, if we feel like its a culture killer let him rot on the bench and waste his redshirt senior season.

Current DT rotation without him:

CJ Clark, Marley Cook
Moten, Horton
Campbell, Scott
Artavius, Blount

Wont hurt his stock if he balls out, someone will take a chance. If he jags it up that will hurt more than anything.

He’s probably about to get a raise either way.

FSU just went 13-0 and won the ACC last year. Did they have 8 kids better than this? No. No excuses. Win 10+ ******* games.

You also know what helps DTs? 4 horses playing on the edge, and mean as **** linebackers. I want this kid to stay too but there isn’t a rational human being on the planet who feels this one kid is worth even 0.1 wins. The goal is still the goal, whether this flake wants to bounce or not.
