UCLA junior OLB Anthony Barr will likely return for his senior season.

"Nothing is set in stone," Barr told Chris Foster of the Los Angeles Times. "But he said coming back is 'where my heart is.' The last piece to his decision will come after receiving an NFL draft evaluation." Over the past month, Barr has quite possibly improved his evaluation more than anyone. After switching to a pass rushing position, Barr showcased his speed off the edge and length to make plays in the backfield. He will certainly be a name to watch next season.

NFL Network's Bucky Brooks believes that UCLA junior OLB Anthony Barr "flashed the kind of dominant ability scouts covet" against Washington State.

Brooks adds that Barr, "has quietly become one of the top pass rushers in college football in his first season as a linebacker, showing outstanding speed, athleticism and awareness." The junior's athleticism and length are great, but it may be wise to play another season of college football to smooth out technique and counter move issues.

Anthony Barr - LB - Bruins

UCLA junior OLB Anthony Barr recorded three tackles for loss, including 2.5 sacks, Saturday against Washington State.

Barr may be the best pass rusher you haven't heard of. The junior is long and possesses excellent closing speed. The Bruins use him from a variety of angles, and along with bending around the edge, Barr has started to plant outside and work back in the pocket.

Anthony Barr - LB - Bruins

UCLA junior OLB Anthony Barr has 12 tackles for loss, 8.5 of which are sacks, thus far this season.

Don't look now, but the Bruins defense has quite a bit of talent defensively. Barr plays a hybrid outside linebacker position and is very quick off the edge to disrupt the backfield. The junior is still a bit raw in terms of technique, but his mobility is great.

UCLA junior OLB Anthony Barr and senior OLB Damien Holmes were shut out from rushing the QB versus Cal due to "extra blocking attention," according to beat writer Earl Bloom.

Barr has been a revelation this season, with seven sacks prior to the Cal game, while Holmes had four. Both were kept from pressuring the quarterback, which allowed the three man front of the Bruins to contribute more. That same 3-4 defense boasts an excellent player in Datone Jones, so the Bruins can create havoc from numerous angles.
