The academic senior, who started 38 of 47 games as a member of the Great Dane baseball team, decided to walk-on the first day of preseason football camp.

Barksdale’s first interception led to Jason Fralicker's 20-yard field goal with 1:22 left in the second quarter and a 17-3 lead. His next pick sealed the biggest win in the program's history when he intercepted Joe Flacco's pass on a third-and-four play at the Albany 19 yardline. The Hudson, NY product was an all-state defensive back at the high school level. He batted .277 with 22 stolen bases last spring for the Great Danes.
