Washington State NT Robert Barber brings size, leverage, and veteran run-stuffing ability
Robert Barber is a physically imposing nose tackle from American Samoa who gave Washington State a veteran presence in the middle, starting 15 career games and showing disruptive flashes with 19 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, a pass breakup, a fumble recovery, and a blocked field-goal attempt in his listed season stats.[3][4] His value is the classic NT package: anchor strength, space-eating interior play, and experience against the run. The main caution is off-field availability—he was expelled and later appealed a conduct-board decision tied to a summer fight, which affected his playing status.[2][5]
