Barber might be a name with which Ole Miss fans are familiar. Barber committed to the Rebels early in the recruiting process for the 2013 class, but switched his pledge to Auburn in January of 2013. He redshirted his first year on Plains, and only got 54 carries in six games for the Tigers in 2014. Barber took off in 2015, however, after Roc Thomas got hurt and Jovon Robinson took a while to get accustomed to the system.
Barber was supposed to return for his redshirt junior season at Auburn in 2016, but he didn’t. He declared for the NFL draft in January.
