Five very short years ago I had the opportunity to watch Peyton Barber as a Junior in high school when he played for the Milton Georgia high school program. My son, Jordan Parisian, was in his first year at Milton playing football as a freshman and it was Coach DeCristofaro's first year in bringing the Milton program up to where it needed to be. Coach D got the Milton players to buy into the hard work year 'round. The off-season weight training was special.
It took me all of about 3 plays watching the fall practice to see this Barber kid was special. It took watching him about 6 plays to see he was going to be a hell of a college running back. It took a game to see that he could play at whatever college he wanted whether he was recruited or not.
In football, cream still rises to the top.
I can't believe it took Peyton this long to garner a starting spot but hey, the Auburn coaches finally figured it out.
They couldn't have a better running back and person on the field to represent their University.
What a nice young man. Humble, hard-working and gifted with the ball.
I hope he signs a massive professional contract some day. The kid is a winner.
