WEEK 1 STATS: 13 tackles (6 solo), 3.0 TFL, 1.0 sack, FF, FR
Barry put his playmaking ability on display during Sacred Heart’s season-opening win at Stetson. After losing the last eight games of the 2015 season due to injury, Barry’s triumphant return to the field featured a career-high 13 tackles. The senior linebacker made 3.0 hits for a loss, none more meaningful than his strip sack of Stetson quarterback late in the fourth quarter of the 18-14 victory. With the Hatters attempting to erase a four-point deficit late in the fourth quarter, quarterback Gavin DeFilippo took a first-down snap from his own 27-yard line, but was quickly mauled by Barry. The SHU linebacker forced the ball free and recovered it at the Stetson 13-yard line with 2:23 remaining. Overall, Barry was in on eight tackles that limited the offense to no more than a two-yard gain on the play.
