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.
….Is it confirmed homeboy is back with the team or nah?
