Tulane freshman WR John Barton brings compact speed and local upside
In the 2025 season, John Barton was a redshirt freshman wide receiver at Tulane listed at 5-foot-11, 190 pounds, with a St. Thomas More pedigree and early recruiting upside rather than proven college production. He’s the kind of receiver coaches like because he already has a sturdy frame, local toughness, and a multi-sport background, and his high school résumé showed playmaking pop with 15 catches for 336 yards and six touchdowns as a senior. The big question: can that athletic, slot-friendly build turn into consistent separation and special-teams value?
