Favorite Colleges: Barsh is hearing from Washington, Washington State, Oregon, Oregon State and Arizona State. Washington is the clear cut favorite. “I’ve grown up watching Washington,” Barsh said. “It has been my lifelong dream to play for the Huskies.”
Skinny: Barsh could the number one sleeper prospect from Washington this season. He plays for one of the state of Washington top talent producers. Damon and Brock Huard, Todd Elmstrom, Cody Ellis, Marty Martin and Collin Henderson are few Puyallup grads to move on the D-I level.
Barsh looks to be another. He is awful strong on the edge and brings heat to the passer. Barsh is very agile, aggressive, physical and loves to mix it up. He has an explosive first step and is very hard to contain with one blocker.
Barsh has the versatility to play defensive end, fullback or linebacker on the next level.
