Barrett checking out games
Daytona Beach (Fla.) Mainland offensive guard Cruz Barrett, like many prospects, has had his phone ringing off the hook since college coaches could start calling earlier this month.
"I have gotten a lot of calls, but my cell phone is messed up so a lot of schools probably have been trying to call and can't get me," Barrett said. "Florida State, West Virginia, Florida, Oklahoma, Florida Atlantic and Penn State are the schools that I have talked to already."

The 6-foot-4, 314-pound Barrett attended the NIKE camp in Tallahassee where he ran the 40-yard dash in 5.41 seconds, the shuttle in 5.25 seconds and posted a 23-inch vertical jump.
"I have been to the Florida State-Miami game and the Florida-Tennessee game already this year," Barrett said. "The game this weekend was a lot of fun. We had to leave early so I didn't really get to talk to any of the coaches, but the atmosphere was crazy. The Florida State-Miami game was nuts too. I got to talk to the coaches and go in the locker room after the game and all."
Barrett is ranked as the No. 60 player in Florida and the No. 27 offensive guard in the nation by Rivals.com.
