Beckham Barney brings downhill toughness and production to Cal’s linebacker room
In the 2024 high school season, Beckham Barney backed up the hype with 74 tackles, 10 tackles for loss and 1 sack as a senior, after posting 145 tackles, 13 TFL and 4 sacks as a junior; he arrived at Cal as a consensus three-star linebacker with a reputation for range, physicality and offense-like playmaking instincts, including rushing and receiving touchdowns in high school. If you want a tone-setter who plays fast, attacks contact and flashes versatility, he fits the bill—just know he’s still early in his college development and being sized up for the next step.
