Barrett will play his final year of high school ball at Link Academy in Branson, Mo. He helped Edmond North High School to an Oklahoma Class 6A championship last season.

Rivals.com ranks Barrett as the No. 114 recruit in the class of 2024. He is the fourth four-star recruit that Dennis Gates has landed since becoming Mizzou’s head coach.
