Allen Barbre | Tackle/Guard | Missouri Southern State | 6'4" - 300 lbs.
OVERVIEW
Barbre might have toiled in relative anonymity during his career with the Lions, but opposing
defensive end, defensive coordinators and professional scouts were well aware of his outstanding
quickness and blocking skills. The four-year starter not only matched up and contained the
opposition's best pass rusher each week, but he was also an outstanding gunner on special
teams, leading the punt coverage unit in 2006.
Barbre was a standout two-way performer at tackle for the East Newtom High School Patriots,
helping his team finish 9-2 and reach the sectional round of the Class 2A state playoffs as a
senior. He was named to the Missouri Class 2A All-State team in football and earned All-Big Eight
Conference honorable mention in basketball.
Not highly recruited out of high school, Barbre enrolled at Missouri Southern State in 2003. He did
not see action in the team's first four games, but started four of the last seven contests, lining up
at right tackle vs. Truman before shifting to left tackle vs. Northwest Missouri State, Southwest
Baptist and Emporia State. He posted 23 knockdowns/key blocks and also recorded a solo
tackle, but the offense struggled all year, managing only 255.5 yards per game.
In 2004, Barbre appeared in ten games, starting the final nine at left tackle. He missed the
season opener vs. Bacone College with a fall camp ankle sprain, but totaled 64 knockdown
blocks for an explosive offensive unit that averaged 453.0 yards per game, including 325.0 yards
passing. He was part of an offensive front that allowed 21 sacks for the year.
As a junior, Barbre earned first-team All-Mid America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA)
honors. He was named Offensive Lineman of the Week five times won the team's Dudley Stegge
Award as the Lions' Offensive Lineman of the Year. Even though the front wall allowed 31
quarterback sacks, only a half-sack was credited to their left tackle. Barbre also registered 73
knockdowns to lead an attack that averaged 376.9 yards per game.
Barbre also got a rare chance at putting points on the board himself, scoring on a 4-yard
touchdown run for the first touchdown in MSSU's 41-17 defeat of Truman State on October 1st.
That play came as a tribute to John Ware, a former offensive lineman and the team's then-head
coach who had died suddenly just four days prior.
Barbre was a consensus All-American, All-MIAA and All-Region first-team selection in 2006. He
helped lead an offensive line that saw quarterback Adam Hinspeter become just the second
passer in school history to throw for 2,000 yards twice in a career. The offense amassed 3,461
yards for the season, including 2,527 passing. He finished with a career-high 94 knockdowns at
left tackle and also excelled on the punt coverage unit, coming up with seven solo tackles.
For his career, Barbre started 33 of 37 contests. All but one of those starting assignments came
at the demanding left tackle position. He was credited with 254 knockdown blocks and registered
ten tackles (9 solos) on special teams. He was the first player from his school to be invited to the
NFL Combine and the first player to earn first-team All-American honors since Richard Jordan in
1996.
