Louisville's Profile for Gary Barnidge

Gary followed in the footsteps of former Middleburg High School product and Louisville tight end Richard Owens, who played four years with the Cardinals. He played both tight end and defensive end in HS and recorded 17 receptions and five touchdowns while being named to the Florida-Times Union Top 24. Asa DE, Gary registered 65 tackles, 10 for a loss, and three sacks, along with three forced fumbles, six fumble recoveries, eight quarterback pressures and one blocked kick that he returned for a touchdown. Barnridge also played basketball, averaging about 18.0 points per game on the hardwood. Ran great at the Combine.

Classic receiving TE, who will be a tweener (WR-TE) at the next level who could stick in the right situation as a developmental 3rd TE. Very good hands, productive, fearless. Runs crisp TE routes. Pretty decent after the catch. Very good timed speed.

Must get much stronger and add muscle mass if he expects to be considered a TE at the next level. One-dimensional player. Not much of a blocker. Single threat who does not have the wheels to convert to big WR, despite running a 4.63 at the Combine.

7th-UDFA.
