Army safety Brian Barton brings tackling volume and steady back-end production
Brian Barton is a sophomore safety at Army West Point who arrived from Mansfield Legacy, where in the 2024-25 season he posted 68 total tackles, 45 solo tackles, 6.2 tackles per game, 1 sack and 1 interception. His value is his physical, assignment-sound style: he shows range, reliability and the kind of football IQ Army prizes in the secondary, with recruiting/profile sources noting tactical awareness and film-study habits. At 5-11, 194, he profiles as a compact, dependable defender rather than a pure splash-play specialist, which makes him a good fit for teams that want consistency, effort and discipline over highlight-reel flash.
