It's easy to see why Casey Barner Jr. is among the best safeties in the country. With his physicality and burst, he wins battles on both sides of the ball. In McEachern High School's (Powder Springs, GA) opening game on Wednesday, Aug. 19, the junior showed why he's one of the most electric players in the nation, regardless of class.
He powered the Indians' 40-10 win over Kell (Marietta, GA) and was named MVP of the Corky Kell + Dave Hunter Classic after recording a 58-yard touchdown run and an interception.
Barner's TD run was his first carry of the season, a dash in which he broke through a couple defenders and outpaced the rest to break open the score 13-3 as the first quarter neared its end.
His interception in the third quarter was a beauty, using his closing speed to track down the ball and rip it away from a receiver who didn't look like he expected Barner to be there yet.
He returned the interception to midfield, putting the Indians in position to extend their lead to 27-3.
