UCF defensive coordinator Travis Williams already has moved on from the first training camp scrimmage when he witnessed his defense dominate. "You've got to have the mindset of being greedy," he said Tuesday. "Whatever happened Sunday was Sunday. We've g ot to get better tomorrow. That's what I tell the players." For defensive tackle Ricky Barber, "being greedy" means never being satisfied. "Just because you made a couple of plays, there's still work that needs to be done so keep going," he said.W illiams wants his side to focus on the next play and the rest will come their way. "Let's get better, enjoy the process and once we look up at the end of the season see where we're at," he said. "I want them to continue to get to the ball with bad intent ions and communicate." Barber is one player who has the mindset required. Last year, the transfer from Western Kentucky finished tied for fourth on the team with 5.5 tackles for loss to go with 3 sacks which tied for third. "He's our guy up front," Willi ams said. "He's our leader and get's everybody going. He has a really good skill set. He's a guy we trust and I'm happy he's here. "I could go on and on about Ricky Barber." - Orlando Sentinel

Barber was a 3-star product out of Doss Magnet Career Academy (Louisville, Kentucky) when he signed with the Hilltoppers as part of their 2019 class. He appeared in four ga mes in 2019 before redshirting the rest of the season. The 6-foot-3, 290-pound tackle was an All-Conference USA honorable mention in 2020, earning a spot on the Football Writers Association of America All-American team as well. He'll reunite with new UCF defensive tackles coach Kenny Martin, who coached tackles at Western Kentucky from 2018 until he left to join the Knights. - Orlando Sentinel
