PRE-SIGNING INTERVIEW
with
MICHAEL BARFIELD

(Go to Profile)

Most knowledgeable observers agree that this year's crop of prospects within the state of Alabama is very slim. One of the few big-time prospects in Alabama is Dothan's Michael Barfield (OL).

The following interview took place on Tuesday, October 29, 1996.

TI

Michael, how's the recruiting process going for you right now?

MB

It's really not been bad. I haven't been thinking about it too much yet. My team still has two more games and that's what I am concentrating on right now.

TI

Are you giving some thought as to which schools you might be interested in?

MB

I'm really open. I like Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, FSU, Georgia Tech and Florida.

TI

That's quite a list. Do you have a favorite?

MB

I've always been an Alabama fan, but that doesn't mean I'm leaning there.

TI

What are you looking for in a school?

MB

I am not sure what I want to major in. I think probably some aspect of engineering. Also, I want to go somewhere that needs some help on the offensive line.

TI

Have you been evaluating the OL situation for each school you're considering.

MB

I've been looking at that some. From what I've seen so far, I think my best chance to see early playing time is at Alabama.

TI

Do you have any official visits setup yet?

MB

Just one right now. I'm scheduled to visit Alabama and will setup some others later.

QUICK FACTS: Michael says he's 6'5, 274 and benches 340. He's an outstanding student, so grades will be no problem. Michael's HS number is 78.
