York Suburban defensive end Garth Barclay
Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“I definitely want to play sports in college and I hope I am blessed enough to have the opportunity to have it be football.”
What colleges have been recruiting you?
“I’m the youngest of three, so I’ve been on more college tours than most 16-year olds. It’s really helping me prioritize the type of college I would hope to attend.”
What camps did you attend this summer? How did the camps go overall?
“I started with Lauren’s First and Goal because it is such a great instructional camp as well as a great place to start developing relationships with multiple college coaches. I followed that with Penn State and Lafayette in June. In July, I went to University of Delaware and back to Penn State because at the June camp, the defensive coach suggested I come back to focus just on defense in July. I love camps. I find them both mentally and physically challenging and I learn something new from every coach I work with. I felt I got some positive feedback and am excited to show new game film with the coaches I met.”
Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“I never really had a favorite college growing up. Both my parents were DI athletes at Princeton in football and rowing and were involved in alumni activities, so I spent a lot of time on campus there.”
