Rankin had an outstanding junior season, recording 40 catches for 991 yards and 12 touchdowns. His ability to make plays was evident both as a wide receiver and in his role as a defensive back, showcasing his versatility and athleticism.

With Barton Football’s commitment to building a strong, competitive program, securing a player of Rankin’s caliber would be a major win for Coach Hester and the team’s future.
