Virginia Tech’s Amare Barno’s NFL Draft Stock Rises

Virginia Tech Hokies’ defensive end, Amare Barno, has turned heads as an NFL outside linebacker prospect, largely due to his performance at the NFL Scouting Combine held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis this past March.

Barno has been listed, by ESPN, as one of the top ten scouting combine performances that have increased the player’s draft prospects. Amare is considered undersized as an NFL lineman but is right around the average for an NFL linebacker prospect. What isn’t average, about Barno, is his speed and athleticism, which he showcased during the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine.
