2019 (Senior)
A Lott IMPACT Trophy quarterfinalist and honorable-menion All-Big Ten performer, Mohamed Barry led Nebraska with 89 tackles in 2019. Barry, who played his senior season as a graduate student, also led NU in tackles as a junior in 2018, becoming the first Husker to lead Nebraska in tackles in back-to-back seasons since All-Americans Ndamukong Suh (2008 & 2009) and Lavonte David (2010 & 2011). Barry recorded four tackles for loss, 1.0 sack and a career-high three pass breakups as a senior, while also recovering one fumble. He finished his career with 245 tackles, which tied for 15th on Nebraska's all-time tackles list.

Barry tied his career high with 12 tackles in the season opener against South Alabama. He added six tackles, including a seven-yard sack, in week two at Colorado before notching his ninth career double-figure tackle performance with 10 tackles and a pass breakup against Northern Illinois. Barry then had five tackles at Illinois and eight tackles against both Ohio State and Northwestern, including a TFL vs. the Wildcats. At Minnesota, Barry had 11 tackles to become the 12th known Husker to have 10 career games with double-digit tackles. He tied for the team lead with six tackles against Indiana, while registering a tackle for loss in his third straight game. He had a big game against No. 15 Wisconsin, tying his career high with 12 tackles. At Maryland, Barry had a career-high two pass breakups and recovered the second fumble of his career. He concluded his career with a team-high-tying six tackles against Iowa. Barry, who started the final 24 games of his career, led Nebraska in tackles in 17 of the Huskers' 24 games over the 2018 and 2019 seasons.

2018 (Junior)
Barry produced a breakout junior campaign while starting all 12 games in 2018. Barry led Nebraska with 112 tackles as a junior after entering the year with only 44 career tackles. He led the team in tackles in nine of Nebraska’s 12 games en route to becoming the first Husker to have a 100-tackle season since 2014. 

Barry ranked second in the Big Ten and 38th nationally with an average of 9.3 tackles per game, while his 112 tackles were the most by a Husker since All-American Lavonte David had 133 tackles in 2011. Barry had seven double-figure tackle games in 2018, becoming the fifth Husker to have seven double-figure tackle efforts in one season and the first since David in 2010. Barry had at least seven tackles in all nine Big Ten Conference games, and he also set career highs with 11 tackles for loss, including his first two career sacks. For his efforts, Barry was recognized as a third-team All-Big Ten linebacker by the conference media and was an honorable-mention selection by the league’s coaches.

Barry earned his first season-opening start against Colorado and responded with a career-high 12 tackles against the Buffaloes. After totaling only three tackles in limited action against Troy due to a first-half targeting ejection, Barry had another double-digit tackle effort with 11 stops at No. 19 Michigan, including a career-high three tackles for loss and his first career sack. Barry had another 11-tackle performance the next week against Purdue. He led Nebraska with eight tackles at No. 16 Wisconsin and recorded his first pass breakup of the season. The next week at Northwestern, Barry again recorded eight tackles, including a TFL. 

He made 11 stops against Minnesota, including one tackle for loss.

At No. 8 Ohio State in the first game of November, Barry made seven tackles. He then had 11 tackles the next week against Illinois. Barry had a team-high eight tackles in Nebraska’s victory over Michigan State, when the Husker defense limited the Spartans to six points. He ended his junior season with 11 tackles at Iowa, the sixth time he had 11 tackles in 2018 and the sixth time in Nebraska’s nine conference games that Barry tallied double-digit tackles.

2017 (Sophomore)
Barry appeared in every game, contributing at linebacker and on special teams. All 38 of his tackles came from his linebacker spot, including 15 solo stops. Barry earned his first two career starts at Purdue and Minnesota and added the first tackle for loss and breakup of his career.

Barry sat out the 2015 season as a redshirt. He spent the majority of his time on the sidelines following shoulder surgery.

Before Nebraska (Grayson HS)
Barry was a strong playmaker from his linebacker spot for Grayson High School in Georgia. As a senior in 2014, Barry helped Coach Mickey Conn's team to a 10-2 record, and helped the school advance to the second round of the Class AAAAAA playoffs. Barry was a dominant defender for the Rams, patrolling the middle of the field from his linebacker position, while also showing the versatility to be strong in pass coverage.

Barry was honored for his play in 2014, earning first-team Class AAAAAA all-state honors in Georgia. Barry also was a standout for Grayson High as a junior, ranking among the state's leaders with 16 sacks.

Rivals ranked Barry as a three-star prospect, while the 247Sports composite rankings listed him as the No. 71 linebacker in the nation. Scout.com ranked Barry among the top 15 linebackers in Georgia. Barry has been regularly trained by former Nebraska and NFL linebacker Eric Johnson.

Barry also visited Kansas State and Miami before choosing the Huskers. Additionally, he had offers from North Carolina State, Syracuse, Wisconsin and Washington State.
