UCLA Bruins linebacker Anthony Barr has made a decision on his future and it will make his coaching staff a group of very happy men. Barr, despite being considered a possible underclassmen entry for the 2013 NFL Draft, has decided to return to UCLA for his senior year of football.
Barr was one of the best linebackers in the Pac-12 this season, just one year after being moved to the defensive side of the ball from running back.
The junior linebacker was named Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year and led the nation with 13.5 sacks.
UCLA is expected to make an official announcement on Barr’s future soon. His return will provide a major boost for the Bruins as they look to build on the momentum they gained this season.
