These days, it takes little to get Ethan Barbour on board. The Dawgs have won him over.
Since the fall, the tight end who is now in Milton, Georgia, has pledged to attend Georgia. He might make a few recruiting trips to schools like Auburn from time to time, but for now, he’s committed to Georgia. In fact, Todd Hartley hardly needs to recruit him—though he still does out of etiquette and deference.
“He still recruits me, even if it feels like he’s my position coach right now. As a coach, you always have to work hard. You should not give up. Thus, even if he is still recruiting me, it feels as though he is also my coach, according to Barbour. “He promises to keep an eye on me. He’s going to see to it that I make it to the NFL. He will be my harsh coach and critic.
