Quinn Barham Class: Sophomore Hometown: Durham, N.C. High School: Hillside Height / Weight: 6-3 / 288 Position: C Experience: JR H.S. Coach: Ray Harrison

Quinn Barham is looking forward to the start of preseason camp and an opportunity to earn a spot in the offensive line rotation. Barham's progress last fall was cut short, as he suffered a season-ending broken left ankle in early November as a member of the foreign team. He has done very well in his rehabilitation and was able to see some duty in spring practice. Barham likely will battle Johnnie Troutman for the top reserve spot at left guard behind All-Big Ten senior Rich Ohrnberger. Barham joined Kevion Latham as North Carolina prep standouts that matriculated to Penn State in 2007. He is a potential Academic All-Big Ten candidate.
