Barrett Bessette '26 Recruiting Profile

 I began my football journey at a very young age, around 9, when I first dreamed of playing at the next level. Since then, I’ve set clear goals and prioritized my path to success. I’ve been a two-year starter on my varsity football team, and this year, I’m determined to earn All-State and All-Conference honors. Although I didn’t get much playing time as a freshman, my sophomore year marked a turning point. I became a starter on both sides of the ball, excelling in my positions. As a sophomore, I stood at 5’10” and weighed 155 pounds. Now, as a junior, I’ve grown to 6’1” and 175 pounds, and I’m stronger and faster than ever. I approach every opportunity on the field with relentless effort, never taking a play off. As an athletic and versatile two-way player, I bring significant talent to the defensive side of the ball. My speed off the edge allows me to contain and get to the ball effectively, even against larger offensive linemen, while my physicality and strong hands add to my impact. Academically, I’m continuously striving to improve, and I’ve already proven to be exceptional in the classroom. What truly sets me apart is my unwavering work ethic—when I’m on the field, my sole focus is on winning with my team.
