Respect might be earned with actions more than it is words, but Barrett's done a bit of both through his first five games. With at least seven games utfifas left in his freshman season, Barrett has already thrown for 1,354 yards and 17 touchdowns, rushed for 276 yards and two touchdowns, and maintained a passer rating of 186.3 good for third-best in the country.
Thrice Barrett has been named the Big Ten's Freshman of the Week and once he's been honored with the conference's weekly top offensive player award. Following his 338-yard, five-touchdown outing against Maryland on Oct. 4, the Lone Star State native was named the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week, presented weekly to the top player who hails from Texas.
Not too shabby for a player who is just two months removed from having his name mispronounced by his head coach and his name www.utfifas.co mislabeled on Ohio State's website. Nowadays, you'd be hard-pressed to find somebody around town unfamiliar with Barrett, who's admittedly still getting used to life in the limelight.
