What Coach Santos Says: Barry is a dynamic three-sport athlete who is a fierce competitor and has a winning pedigree. He is as dangerous with his legs as he is with his arm and can make all the plays necessary to excel at this level. The dual threat QB has the ability to push the ball down the field and also make intermediate passes. He has a knack for throwing people open and is very accurate. We’re excited to have him as a part of our team and the future is bright in Durham.
