Barham started his collegiate career with the Maryland Terrapins before transferring to the Wolverines before the 2024 season. A two-year starter at Michigan, the 240-pounder totaled 98 tackles and five sacks, starting 22 games. While he has some pass-rush juice, Barham might be best in an off-ball role, allowing him to track and pursue the ballcarrier.
How he fits with the Cowboys: Barham will be part of a revamped front seven in Dallas. If he can earn some snaps as a rookie, he’ll be working next to first-round pick Malachi Lawrence, inside linebacker DeMarvion Overshown and veteran edge rusher Rashan Gary.
