Won't he be competing with Towles?

He would be competing with Towles, Whitlow, and Smith for most likely his first two seasons because Maxwell Smith has 3 years of eligibility left. I didn't realize that Smith had 3 years left until now so, I would say that we may see a transfer in the near future. With that said, Barker is, IMO, better than all three of them. He may not be better now but, he will be in the future and that is why the UK coaching staff is investing all their time in him at the QB position.
