Interesting
Nick Barrett to the Chargers. Was more of a Attacking NT taken to a reacting front. Taking the talent. Can scoot for his size, has a lot of pop. Can sink low vs doubles and hard to move. Has fixable technical issues. Can do a lil as a pass rusher, good nt athlete.

β Charger Power - Trust The Process - Alt is healthy (@CavScoutMBA) April 25, 2026 The Chargers just got one of my favorite defensive tackle prospects in this class with Nick Barrett. Only a one-year starter but his tape against the SEC this season was insanely fun to watch. A brick wall against the run. pic.twitter.com/PqedxAPqnB
β Jonah Tuls (@JonahTuls) April 25, 2026 Super good player in Nick Barrett added. Expect him to shoot up the depth chart sooner than later. pic.twitter.com/uiyxyMMqZF
β Depth (@depth\_charts) April 25, 2026 Nick Barrett with 25 total run stops last year T-4th most in the class and a run stop % of 10.0%. Great numbers for a 1Tech. Excited to watch him later! Mike Elston will make him great.

β Tristin Still (@cockyfaithful2) April 25, 2026 Nick Barrett should just be a rotational nose/1-tech for the Chargers. think of it like the replacement for Otito Ogbonnia in terms of snaps, but take Ogbonnia's B-gap snaps and give them to Teair Tart and Jamaree Caldwell while you give those guys' nose snaps to Barrett
