In a weekly feature on Rivals.com, we take a look at the weekend’s standout performances from both college and pro football and pick one player from each star rankings group to spotlight. This week's 4-star was Tennessee defensive end Derek Barnett
Here's a snippet:
Recruiting revisited: Barnett was targeted by Tennessee early in his high school career and looked at Vanderbilt and Ohio State before settling on the Vols.
What he did this week: Barnett took over the second half in the Vols' victory over Florida, a win that snapped an 11-game losing streak to the Gators. He finished the game with two sacks, three quarterback hurries and also broke up a pass while terrorizing the Florida offensive line. If he continues to play the way he did over the weekend, Barnett could be in line for a major NFL payday.
