OSU Makes Top Schools for 3-Star Athlete Taye Barber
Cy-Springs athlete Taye Barber has named OSU among his list of top schools along with Stanford, TCU, Ole Miss, West Virginia, Clemson, Tennessee, Arizona, Iowa State, Missouri, Kansas and Utah.
Barber’s scholarship count was nearing 30 before he made the major cut to 12 on Sunday.
After a stellar junior year in which he played both sides of the ball for Cypress Springs, his attention on the recruiting trail nationally skyrocketed this offseason.
First, schools took notice of his skills as a free safety — the position OSU was first to offer him — but lately schools have become more and more interested in bringing him in as a playmaker out of the slot.
Still, OSU’s offer, which was his first of what is now a lengthy list, meant a lot and could play a role in his final decision.
“It impacts a lot,” Barber told PFB earlier this year. “They were the first school to believe in my ability as a football player.”
Barber is a 5-foot-9 impact player who OSU was recruiting to bring in as a packaged deal alongside four-star standout and teammate Leon O’Neal Jr., who recently pledged to Texas A&M.
