summary
summary
Nick Barrett is a sturdy, power-based interior defensive lineman with SEC experience and rotational versatility across multiple interior alignments. At 6'3", 305 lbs, Barrett brings a compact, dense frame suited for interior trench play.
Within South Carolina’s defensive front, he has operated primarily as a rotational 3-technique and interior run defender, showcasing anchor strength, gap discipline, and flashes of pocket compression. His game is built on leverage, strength, and effort rather than explosive penetration.
While pass-rush upside is limited, his size and run-defense reliability create a developmental path as a rotational interior defender at the next level.
