Barry Walker is a towering, returning UAB lineman with real starter experience
In the 2025 season, Barry Walker started 1 of 12 games and appeared in 11 for UAB, and in 2026 he’s listed as a 6-foot-6, 325-pound redshirt sophomore offensive tackle/liner with returning status on the roster[2][5]. His appeal is easy to see: he brings rare mass, length, and valuable game reps for a young lineman, which usually translates into a big developmental ceiling if the technique keeps catching up[2][6]. He was a three-star recruit out of Crisp County, and the scouting trail suggests a prospect built for power football and interior/exterior flexibility rather than flash[2][6].
