The 6-foot-5, 205-pound prospect has three years of eligibility remaining in his collegiate career.
Barry hails from Baltimore, Maryland, where he prepped at North County High School. He signed with James Madison out of high school as part of the 2023 recruiting class and didn’t play in his one year with the Dukes.
Coming out of high school, he had reported offers from Pitt, Rutgers, Syracuse, West Virginia, and others.
During his prep career, along with wide receiver, Barry played defensive back, outside linebacker, and tight end among other spots.
After the 2023 season, Barry entered the Transfer Portal and ended up at Sussex Community College this past summer.
This year at Sussex, Barry has eight receptions for 96 yards in three games.
BYU currently has one wide receiver commitment for the class of 2025, that’s LaMason Waller from Oak Hills High School in California.
Since joining Sussex Community College, Barry’s other offer besides BYU is from Murray State in the FCS ranks.
