Early life
[edit]Barmore grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and attended Abraham Lincoln High School his freshman year before transferring to Saints John Neumann and Maria Goretti Catholic High School. Barmore originally verbally committed to play college football for the Temple Owls during the summer going into his senior year, but de-committed and reopened his recruitment.
