Kolby Barrett brings length, size, and early SEC-ready upside to Mississippi State's secondary
Barrett is a 6-2, 195-pound Baylor School safety in the Class of 2026 who signed with Mississippi State after being rated a three-star prospect, and his profile points to a physical, versatile defensive back with the frame to handle contact and the upside to develop into a reliable SEC fit.[2][3][5] Beyond the ranking, the key draw is his size and positional value at safety, which can translate into range, tackling presence, and matchup flexibility for a defense looking to add length in the back end.[1][2]
