Career

Youth and College

Barlow grew up in Herndon, Virginia, and attended Langley High School, where he was named to his district's all-metro, all-district and all-region teams as a junior. Growing up he was a fan of Aston Villa FC citing his favorite players as Andy Townsend and Lee Hendrie keeping posters of both on his bedroom wall. He played college soccer at the University of Virginia, where he was named to the VaSID All-State Second Team as a sop*re. He concluded his collegiate career third on the team in scoring with five goals and six *ists in 2009, garnering All-ACC Second Team honors en route to the NCAA Championship, which he personally dedicated to former Aston Villa player Paul Birch who had tragically p*ed away before the final. He made 68 appearances for the Cavaliers over four seasons, scoring eight goals and providing 16 *ists.

During his college years Barlow also played with the Fredericksburg Gunners in the USL Premier Development League.
