Barrington Preseason Athlon Sports All-American

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — BYU offensive lineman Clark Barrington has been named to the Athlon Sports 2022 Preseason All-America Third Team. The selection is Barrington’s second preseason All-American honor, having previously been named to the 2022 Phil Steele Preseason All-America First Team.

The 6-6, 302-pound left guard started all 13 games for the Cougars in 2021 and was named to the Pro Football Network All-American Third Team at the conclusion of the season. The two-year starter was also named 2021 Pro Football Network All-Independent First Team and was part of the Pro Football Network Offensive Line of the Year. 

Barrington played in 10 games, starting five, for the Cougars as a freshman in 2019. The following season the Spokane, Washington, native started 10 games at left guard and was named to the 2020 Phil Steel All-Independent Second Team for his role in helping the BYU offense rank No. 3 in scoring (43.5) and No. 6 in total offense (522.2).

The Athlon Sports All-American selections are based on how players are projected to perform in 2022. Career statistics and previous awards matter in player evaluation, but the All-America team selection is largely based on predicting and projecting the upcoming year.
