Ricky Barber, a 6'3", 293-pound defensive tackle, began his college career at Western Kentucky before transferring to the University of Central Florida to follow his coach, Kenny Martin. After a standout freshman year, Barber faced setbacks, including a frustrating injury during the 2023 season, impacting his performance. His relationship with Martin, characterized by trust and high standards, has been fundamental to Barber's growth. Under new competition levels in the Big 12, he hopes to demonstrate his potential, having previously achieved significant success, including a strong season with UCF and a bowl victory against Florida.
My relationship with Coach Martin played a big role. I trusted him at Western (Kentucky) and I trust him now... The fan base stands out to me a lot.
He's a perfectionist and he pushes his players to do things at a high level.
