From Alex's FFFF in November

  • Barham was a very green starter last season, paddling away as a true freshman at the toughest position on the defense and he handled the job with surprising success. This season he has remained a strong blitzer and run defender but has struggled in coverage, averaging out to a decent but not star-level bottom line
  • I like Barham and think he's talented, but he's not a superstar yet 
  • Barham the LB is blitzing there and I thought he was pretty good in that role

From the enemies ranked

Last year's The Enemy, Ranked: LB never once mentioned the name Jaishawn Barham. At the time, he was an incoming true freshman, decorated in the recruiting rankings but ILB is historically a difficult position to play as a true freshman. Instead, Barham forced his way onto the field, leaping over several of Maryland's Bad LBs With Great Names and snagging a starting role right from the jump. At the time I FFFF'd the Terps (week four), I was commending Barham's ability to perform despite his age/circumstances and that held up over the rest of the season. Barham wasn't just good-for-a-true-freshman, he was legit good. Not sure if he was quite star status in totality, but he was one of PFF's highest graded LBs in the conference. Now as a true sophomore with a year under his belt, Barham is a safe bet to be All-B1G.

There are a handful of guys I see across the line from our boys and I think "man, it'd be nice to have him in maize and blue!"  Barham was at the top of that list for me this year.  Great pick-up!  Go Blue!!

Our defense is going to be really really good next year.  It'd still be fun to get Domani Jackson and another depth D-line or edge assuming some people go pro.
