Gators’ Canyon Barry juggles basketball, studying nuclear engineering

UF graduate transfer Canyon Barry has adjusted quickly and become a leader and go-to scorer for the Gators.

GAINESVILLE — Through the glass doors and up the spiral staircase, Canyon Barry sits in a brown leather chair, clutching a blue water bottle.

He’s breathing heavily. Basketball practice ended some time ago, but Canyon stayed longer, taking extra shots in the team’s wood-paneled gym on the first floor of Florida’s practice facility.

But now, late on a Tuesday afternoon, he’s meeting with a reporter. In 15 minutes, he will meet with another one. And on it will continue.
