Washington transfer LB Ethan Barr re-enters NCAA Transfer Portal

Former Vanderbilt linebacker Ethan Barr recently entered the NCAA Transfer Portal in search of a new home. The former Commodores star recently committed to the Washington Huskies this offseason. Little did he know that his old head coach, Kalen DeBoer, was going to be taking the head coaching job with the Alabama Crimson Tide on Friday. So now, Barr is back in the portal, looking for a new team.

He racked up over 200 tackles during his time with the Commodores. He was a team captain this season for the ‘Dores and racked up three tackles for loss and 55 tackles in the 2023 campaign.

As a junior (2022), Barr racked up 42 tackles and two tackles for loss, playing in all 12 games. His sophomore year (2021), he posted his best numbers, racking up 85 total tackles, four pass breakups, three interceptions, and two quarterback hurries.

As a high school prospect, Barr enjoyed a prolific career for Marcus High School (Flower Mound, Texas). He tallied more than 300 tackles in his high school career, racking up over 100 tackles in both his junior and senior year. As a senior, he led his team to an 11-2 season and the third round of the 6A state playoffs.

He was rated as a three-star prospect and the No. 190 overall linebacker in America in the 2020 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Rankings.
