Personal: Comes from a strong Carson-Newman bloodline that includes grandfather David Barger, a 1970 C-N alumnus who joined the Athletic Department as the Director of Athletic Promotions in 1980 before serving as Athletic Director from 1990-2012, and was inducted into the South Atlantic Conference Hall of Fame in 2013... Continues the C-N legacy of student-athletes in his family. His father, Matt, played baseball for the Eagles and was a first-team All-SAC selection in 1996 as a catcher. Three of his uncles also hold connections to C-N – Paul and Philip Barger were members of the baseball and spirit teams, respectively, while Joe Dobyns played basketball.
